Oracle support for multiple languages
I have a VB and oracle application. There is a requirement for having spanish language support.
The current character set is US7ASCII and National Character set is AL16UTF16.
After some analysis i thought changing these character sets to UTF8 will be a solution for saving spanish characters.
Can any please help me whether this is correct?
Thanks in advance
That's true.
However since you are moving from single-byte character set to multi-bytes, you should be aware of the data truncation problem. that's the dangerous I was talking about.
Data Truncation
When the database is created using byte semantics, the sizes of the CHAR and VARCHAR2 datatypes are specified in bytes, not characters. For example, the specification CHAR(20) in a table definition allows 20 bytes for storing character data. This is acceptable when the database character set uses a single-byte character encoding scheme because the number of characters is equivalent to the number of bytes. If the database character set uses a multibyte character encoding scheme, then the number of bytes no longer equals the number of characters because a character can consist of one or more bytes.
During migration to a new character set, it is important to verify the column widths of existing CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns because they might need to be extended to support an encoding that requires multibyte storage. Truncation of data can occur if conversion causes expansion of data.

Adding support for multiple languages
Hi all,
I've a desktop application with multiple components in it containing .rc files.Now, I'd want to replicate these .rc files in such a way that I should be able to build and generate a localized build from my source.
To explain more, as of now my release configuration would generate an English language build. Now, I'd want to do the same for all languages. Is there any tutorial on how to achieve this?
For now, I'm thinking to add multiple build configurations and let different components point to specific resource directories.
Lets say I have a folder res_english -> this will contain all english resources, res_japanese would contain all japan resources, like this I should have multiple folder each containing specific resources. CAn someone guide how to do this?
Thanks!See

Configuring oracle 8i for multiple language support?
We are in discovery for a new web site that will need to support many languages. The initial phase is for English and some European languages like swedish and french but plans are to include multi-byte languages like japanease in the future.
What are the possible configuration options for oracle to help provide support of this. Can 1 database installation support many languages? What are your reccomendations?Also what is the level of UNICODE support provided by oracle? If we are devolping in java is it possible to store unicode in the database? We could then store a table to indicate what the language is for all the data ourselves?

Support for multiple languages in Skype Chat
Hi,
on my Windows 8.1 laptop, the default language is English, but I have several Windows language packs installed. In Outlook or within a web browser, I can switch easily between languages when typing, and create emails in different languages simultaneously.
In Skype chat however, there is no Right-Click option to change the language, and if I am writing in French, auto-correct keeps trying to change words to English, resulting in lots of typos.
Selecting Tools, Change language to French just seems to change the menu selections and Skype interface, but autocorrect, spelling prompts remain in English?
Any suggestions on how to make Skype play nice and let me switch languages within the chat windows?

I18n - how to add support for more languages (CQ 5.4)
I have a number of questions around adding support for more languages. We are already using multiple languages and would like to add more.
1. Standard languages provided
in /libs/wcm/core/i18n I can see the standard ootb languages for CQ 5.4: de es fr it ja zh-cn
How can I add more? Are there additional language packages provided by Adobe for CQ 5.4?
2. Translator tool
We have our own additional keys/strings in
/apps/site/i18n/publish
When I open these with the translator tool
/libs/cq/i18n/translator.html
as admin, I can see them all just fine.
However when I open them as another user, I only see the columns of the languages defined in /libs/wcm/core/i18n
There is a description how to extend this for 5.5 here:
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/cq5-translator.html#Changing%20Languages%20Li sted%20in%20the%20Grid
and I have added the languages to /etc/languages in the "languages" property, but this does not work with 5.4 apparently (at least as far as I have tried).
I still only get the default languages from /libs/wcm/core/i18n despite the other languages being there in
/apps/site/i18n/publish
and as admin I can see and edit them.
How do I make them visible and editable for other users?
3. Tags
When editing the translations of tags, I want all the possible languages to appear in the dialog box for editors.
I have extended the "languages" property in /etc/tags and this works basically fine (as expected) as described in:
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/cq5-translator.html#Changing%20Language%20Nam es%20and%20Default%20Countries
The desired language must be supported and listed in:
/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages
I want to use a 2-letter iso code (e.g. "no" for Norway") and this desired 2-letter iso code must exist as a node. If that is not the case and only nodes with locales exist (e.g. "no_no" and "no_no_ny") then a 2-letter node must be created with a default setting pointing to the default locale.
I have tried this and it works fine as expected when the default language node is created in
/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages
But /libs is a system folder that should not be modified, it could be potentially overwritten by Adobe packages.
The 5.5 docs say to create the node in
/apps/wcm/core/resources/languages
instead, but this did not work for me in CQ 5.4 and I could find no other docs describing a process for 5.4
How to do this properly in 5.4?Thanks for that hint, I checked it and the user does have read access to /etc/languages and /etc/tags and also /libs
So it seems the only workaround would be to create dummy nodes in /libs/wcm/core/i18n - which I did with a script (to be able to repeat after installation of hotfixes/and updates).
So for example for Norwegian:
# set default 2-letter node for norway (since it is missing)
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'jcr:primaryType@TypeHint=Name' -d 'jcr:primaryType=nt:unstructured' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'country=*' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'defaultCountry=no_no' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'language=Norwegian' -isS | grep HTTP
# set dummy node for missing languages in /libs/wcm/core/i18n
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/i18n/no" -d 'jcr:primaryType@TypeHint=Name' -d 'jcr:primaryType=nt:folder' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/i18n/no" -d 'jcr:mixinTypes@TypeHint=Name[]' -d 'jcr:mixinTypes=mix:language' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/i18n/no" -d 'jcr:language=no' -isS | grep HTTP
This does create a proper dummy node (which is otherwise empty) in /libs/wcm/core/i18n
But unfortunately the Norwegian language still does not show up in the translator tool /libs/cq/i18n/translator.html
Only the standard languages show for my user.
Admin user does see all langauges we have in /apps/site/i18n/publish (but that was already the case before) - so I assume it must be some permissions are missing. I also tried giving that user modify+create permissions to /apps/site/i18n/publish but that did not make any difference.
Any other ideas what could be missing? -
Feature request: Support for Multiple Libraries (like in iMovie)
From the threads, I can tell this topic was raised by many for many years. I would like to propose support for multiple iPhoto libraries -- or more specifically, the ability to distribute media across different storage devices.
There is a huge gap between my spacially limited MBP 250 GB SSD and my external 4 TB HDD. I am aware that I can juggle two separate libraries in iPhoto but it's just not practical and the moving of media between the libraries is not a simple drag and drop effort but involves exporting and importing with me having to clean up on one side or the other.
iMovie has had support for several libraries for a long time presumably because the sheer size of media in the video realm gave the iMovie team little choice.
I can't be the only one having this itch, right?Again, you need to clarify your terms
Aperture can move master photos files around. With Aperture you can write additional metadata to the original file.
You don't need multiple libraries to thematically arrange photos, though. A simple keywordign system will do that.
So in Aperture I don't have to restart into different libraries?
You can have all your photos in a sinble library with the master files stored off-disk easily. You can relocate them from disk to disk too. However, if you;re doing presentations that is probably not necessary if you generate good quality previews. I'd ask about these things on the Aperture forum for more. -
Support for multiple libraries...?
Hi, I have a question as how is the best way to manage y music libraries given my usage scenario.
First let me set the context of what I have. I have over 35GB of ripped music, that resides in an external drive. Currently this music is available through my iTunes application, but it is NOT part of my lybrary (meaning I imported but did NOT copy it into the library). I do NOT want to have 35GB of music in my notebook's HD.
My iTunes library is in my local HD (music folder). This is a small file that basically has the 'podcasts' and the 'artwork'.
What do I want? I would love to keep all my music and videos on the external drive, and have my podcasts in my local HD. This way when I am on the road, I can update the podcasts, without having to carry with me all my music.
This all works fine the way I have it now, except that every time I rip a new CD or buy music from the iTunes Store, they go to my local HD and not my external drive.
Any ideas on how to work this out? I would love support for multiple libraries, but I don't thnks it's possible as far as I looked into it.
Thanks SO much!This all works fine the way I have it now, except that every time I rip a new CD or buy music from the iTunes Store, they go to my local HD and not my external drive.
Set the 'iTunes Music folder location' (Preferences>Advanced>General) to the music folder on your external.
The next time you rip a CD or purchase music, it will be stored there.
Note: the 'iTunes Music folder location' is not the folder where your music is, but the location where iTunes stores imported music (and added music when 'Copy files to.....' is checked)
If you ran iTunes once with your external drive not attached/mounted, this location is reset to the internal drive.
iTunes 7 has support for multiple libraries. Press and hold the Option-key on launching iTunes until a window pops up which asks you to choose a library or create a new one.
Libra and iTunes Library Manager both work with iTunes 7 and older versions. They also save the preferences for every library you created.
Hope this helps.

Well, it looks like support for Asian Languages in Dynamic
Textfields wasn't included in this version as well. I have a simple
flash file embeded in an html file with 2 text boxes. Here's the
code I'm using:
var strJapanese = "あらわせて"
var strChinese = "我想你";
japanese_txt.text = strJapanese;
chinese_txt.text = strChinese;
I currently have these fonts installed in the \Windows\Fonts\
directory:
mingliu.ttc
msgothic.ttc
but all I see is a bunch of squares in the text boxes. I have
verified that my pocket pc can use these fonts in other programs.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
BackBayChefI used both the options but no one helps. Check the images for the understanding the problam. I try Arial unicode ms as other font but it does give correct visiblity of font.

Support for Malayalam language
I wish to buy a Mac. Whether there any support for Malayalam language there? If so which unicode version is using?
Good News! While reading the features of the upcoming OS X Lion, I found extended language support, including Malayalam! The fonts are probably the same as those by nickshanks, but they might be different since the original fonts were made for iOS devices.
Expanded language support
Twenty new font families for document and web display of text provide support for the most common languages in the Indian subcontinent, including Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, and Telugu. Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Urdu, and Tamil have been expanded. And three new font families support Lao, Khmer, and Myanmar.

Oracle 9i Support for multi language is not working.. Giving question mark
HI,
We have an application which uses oracle 9i as the database. Riight now we are supporting only english and there is a requirement to support multiple languages like korean, chineese and japaneese.
But we are planning to migrate one part of the application to support multi languages. Means it may affect around 10 tables but with huge data. Totally we have around 100 tables.
How to enable the database for supporting multiple langugages.?
Is there any way to enable only the few tables supporting multiple languages. Because if we change the database level parameters for supporting languages, we may need to migrate entire tables. this will be a huge task.
Even if want to set the parameters for supporting multiple languages.. how to set it. Is it possible set it in the existing database or do we need to re-create the table with these prameters.
I have read in some documentation, that we can create table columns with nVarchar2 for supporting multi languages. I have created it. but if i copy some other language characters into those columns, it is giving question mark.
Is it possible to do search using text in native langugage like chineese..
Could somebody guide me on the above clarificationa and what would be the best approach..
Thanks in advance
