Polish character sets

Hi reader,
do you have a clue how to set character set or how to to switch between character sets? e.g. from cp1252 to 1250 and vice versa
I'd like to display polish characters within a swing GUI and do not know how to switch....
internationalization works fine (based upon Messages_iso.properties) but the character set does not switch to something fitting.
thx

Java-internal character set is UTF-16, there should be no need for "switching". Property files, however, are restricted to ISO-8859-1 and may use Unicode escape sequences (\uxxxx). Maybe you should check the contents of your property file.

  • Western european an Polish character set

    Dear gurus,
    I 'm work on oracle database 10R2 server with Western European character set. We now want to include polish character to suit a new customer. Inorder to keep our wester eurpean languages (English, danish, swedish etc) and the new polish, I converted the database server and the window webserver client to Unicode UTF8 but I am unable to retrieve some polish characters such as ( ą ć ę ł ń ś ż ź) as they are display differently from the original characters.
    If the know the best character set/how to configure the database to support both western european (not only english) and polish character sets please share your view.
    regards

    Before you can determine whether the characters are displayed correctly, you need to determine that they are stored correctly.
    The dump function is useful for this
    For example if I dump this entire string
    select dump('ą ć ę ł ń ś ż ź') from dual;
    I get the following
    Typ=96 Len=23: 196,133,32,196,135,32,196,153,32,197,130,32,197,132,32,197,155,32,197,188,32,197,186
    and dumping individual characters, eg
    select dump('ą') from <yourtable>l;
    Typ=96 Len=2: 196,133
    I do this test with OracleSqlDeveloper running on the Database Server which has a UTF8 characterset
    Check out the globalisation guide. The basic principle here is that the NLS_LANG character setting on your client should be the same as on your server.
    eg if you are using a windows client and your server NLS_LANG is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and teh NLS_LANG setting in the windows registry is AMERICAN_AMERICA.ASCII7, then you would need to change the NLS_LANG setting in the windows registry to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8.
    This would then resolve the issues with client display.
    So,the steps here are (and in order)
    1) Ensure your Data is stored correctly on the server (Insert on server )
    2) Ensure your Data is retrieved correctly on the server(Retrieve on server)
    3) Ensure your data is displayed correctly on the Client(Retrieve on Client)
    That should hopefully resolve your problem. The Globalisation guide as mentione dearlier is your place of reference

  • Need to add Polish option to character set menu in SAP Gui

    Basis Gurus,
    We have installed the Polish language on our unicode R/3 system and now
    need to add it as a character set option in the Gui menu.
    Menu Path:
    Customize Local Layout --> Character Set --> (Missing Option for Polish)
    I have searched OSS and online resources and have not found out how to
    add an entry in this menu.
    I did alter the file frontEN.txt in which the menu entries are built,
    but did this not add the entry.
    Can you please advise on the procedure to add this entry. Our
    developers need it to view special Polish characters in their SapScript.
    Thanks,
    Jeff Martens

    Deepak,
    Thanks for the reply.  I've read that document before, it's helpful with some of the I18N settings, but does not explain how to add a language to the "character set" menu.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • File sender adapter and content conversion with polish character

    We are loading a csv file with PI 7.0 file sender adapter using "content conversion" - all fields go through EXCEPT a special character hex '208C' (space in front) looks like "Æ" is converted to hex 'C28C'.
    We are using code page UTF8
    We are using:
    enclosuresign "
    enclosuresignescape ""
    fieldcontentformatting nothing
    enclosureconversion NO
    Hope some one can help

    Hi Bohamo,
    Hope you have set the following for your file sender adapter :
    1. Transfer Mode is set to Binary,
    2. File Type Text,
    3. Encoding ISO-8859-1( for Western European Latin ).
    Inorder to recognize Polish Character, try as follows :
    Your sender file after coming into Pi has XML encoding declaration 'UTF-8'.
    Write a simple XSLT mapping to change the value of the attribute "encoding" to "ISO-8859-1" in the output XML of message mapping . Include this XSLT map as the second mapping step in your interface mapping.
    First step in your interface mapping will be your already existing message mapping.
    An example of the XSL code :
    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method='xml' encoding='ISO-8859-1' />
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy-of select="*" />
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    or you can also do java mapping if you are comfortable with java code !
    Cheers,
    Ram.

  • DIR7 Character Set Problem / Foreign Language

    Hi there,
    I am working on an app built using Director 7 that until now
    has used the standard English (latin-1) character set.
    However, I am required to deliver a new version including
    some elements displayed in a second language, in this case Welsh,
    which uses characters outside of the normal set. I believe those
    required are included in Latin-1 Extended, otherwise in Unicode as
    a whole, obviously.
    I am having specific problems with two characters that appear
    to be missing from Latin-1, which are: ŵ and ŷ
    (w-circumflex, and y-circumflex [i think!]).
    In a standard text box I create using Director, I am unable
    either to paste either character in, or enter it using its
    ALT+combination, let alone save to the associated database.
    I have read that Dir 11 is the first version with full
    Unicode support - which surprises me - however I would assume that
    someone would likely have hit this, or a similar issue before the
    release of this version and was wondering if there is a possible
    solution without upgrade.
    My possible thinking is either a declaration that allows
    change of a Charset, as I might do in XHTML for example, or
    deployment of an Xtra that allows me to use a different character
    set.
    If anyone could shed some light on the matter, it would be
    very helpful! Thanks in advance!
    Rich.

    Yes, this was always a problem for years. Back when I was
    **** this, we had
    some projects that needed text displayed in various
    languages. Each
    language presented its own challenges. Things like Greek
    weren't too bad,
    because the Symbol font works for most Greek text. (Only
    problem was the
    's' version of Sigma, which had to switch back to Times New
    Roman.) Various
    eastern European languages (Polish, Czech, Hungarian, etc.)
    posed a problem
    with some of the accents that were not available in standard
    font sets. We
    were forced to live without some of the more exotic accents,
    but were told
    that it would still be readable without them, if not exactly
    correct. This
    would probably be the closest to your situation, from what
    little I know
    about Welsh. It could be worse, though. Hebrew and Arabic
    were challenging
    as they are written right-to-left, and thus had to have code
    written to
    input them backwards. Russian was also tough, as the Cyrillic
    alphabet has
    more characters than the others, but I was able to find a
    font to fake it.
    (It replaced some of the lesser-used standard characters in
    order to fill in
    all the letters, which unfortunately meant that in the rare
    cases where
    those characters *were* needed, we had to improvise.) The
    hardest by far
    were any east Asian languages. In that case, I gave up on
    trying to display
    any of the text in text form, and just converted it all to
    bitmaps. Without
    Unicode, trying to display Mandarin or Japanese or Korean
    correctly as text
    is pretty much impossible.

  • Avant Garde Gothic - Extended character sets?

    I am working on a project for a client in Poland. We have been given regular and bold weights of Avant Garde Gothic with extended character sets that cover the Polish language. Now however, we want to use the medium weight as well, but have no idea where one goes to find a special extended character set. I have tried numerous type websites with no luck. Any help would be great :)

    There's an Avant Garde CE Gothic Demi, available from Linotype. It
    appears to be Adobe's with the Central European character set added.
    (I don't understand that at all!)
    URW may also have a Medium version. I have one whose font name may be
    AvantGarGotItcTEEMed. I don't know if it's still available.

  • Validate on allowed character set

    Hi,
       I want to validate the Character set. Means, Now my User Interface taking all characters which are possible through key board like Japanese or Chinese characters. But I want to validate the character set.
      As per my knowledge , we need to check the characters manually by writing the logic to compare the each and every characters  but it is laborious job and creates performance problems also. Is there any alternative way?
    Is it possible to do it with WebDynpro  inbuilt functionality?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Vijay

    What kind of validation did you having in mind.  Web Dynpro ABAP will automatically convert all characters to the character set of the ABAP Logon Language.  I probably don't need to tell you, but the ultimate answer to any character set problems is to run a Unicode System and then all characters are supported. 
    Although this weblog is BSP specific, you might find some of the discussion useful:

    You might be able to use SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS or one of the other SCP function modules to do some sort of mass validation.

  • ORA-12712 error while changing nls character set to AL32UTF8

    Hi,
    It is strongly recommend to use database character set AL32UTF8 when ever a database is going to used with our XML capabilities. The database character set in the installed DB is WE8MSWIN1252. For making use of XML DB features, I need to change it to AL32UTF8. But, when I try doing this, I'm getting ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set. Is there a way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Divya.

    Hi,
    a change from we8mswin1252 to al32utf8 is not directly possible. This is because al32utf is not a binary superset of we8mswin1252.
    There are 2 options:
    - use full export and import
    - Use of the Alter in a sort of restricted way
    The method you can choose depends on the characters in the database, is it only ASCII then the second one can work, in other cases the first one is needed.
    It is all described in the Support Note 260192.1, "Changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode)". Get it from the support/metalink site.
    You can also read the chapters about this issue in the Globalization Guide: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch11charsetmig.htm#g1011430]Change characterset.

  • Oracle 8.1.5 install on Linux Redhat 6.0: character set (and other) problem(s)

    I am trying to install Oracle 8i on Linux and it does not work : once the install is finished, I have a message saying that "Character Set not found".
    I am runing a french version of Linux (fr-latin 1) and I try to install Oracle with French and English as languages
    An other problem about this install : Oracle does not seem to recognize that I have 6,9 Giga for it to install, and says that I have not enough space for the install...
    And at the end of the install, it takes for ages (about 15mns) during which nothing seems to happen. On one machine I got out of this phase, but on the other I never saw it finish, it looks as if the computer crashed. Is that normal?
    I went through all the initialization phases, set the correct environment variables...
    thanks

    I've been dealing with the same problems in the english version but could bypass thiss by doing the folowing.
    -Just ignore the disk space stuff
    -Ignore the charset message, also
    -When creating a database, choose custom and then select the WE8ISO8859P1 char set. It worked for portuguese, must work for french also.
    -Everyone here recommended, and I do the same, leave the database creation for later, not during instalation.
    Good Luck!

  • Message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service

    Does any one have any advice on how to fix this problem?
    E-mails sent from my iphone 3G periodically arrive in an unreadable form at the recipient. The body of the e-mail has been replaced with the message "This message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service...." The problem e-mails also include an attachment that contains an unformatted text file containing the original message surrounded by what appears to be lots of formatting data that is displayed as gibberish.
    This occurs sometimes, but not always, even with the same recipients. I am sending e-mail through a G-mail account that is configured on the iphone using IMAP. I have tried the gmail account to use the two available formatting options for mail, but neither fixes the problem.
    I have also upgraded to 2.01 and restored a few times without impact.

    Hi,
    I got somewhat similar problem with special charecters(German umlaud �,�,�..).
    I create a file with java having special charecters in it. Now if I open this file I am able to view the special charecters in it.But If I attach this file send it using following code then receiver can not see the umlaud charecters in it.They get replaced by _ or ?
    MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
    FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(fileName);
    mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
    mbp2.setFileName(output.getName());
    Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
    mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
    msg.setContent(mp);
    Transport.send(msg);
    From you message it looks like you are able to send the mail attachment correctly(by preserving special charecters).
    Can you tell me what might be wrong in my code.
    I appriciate your efforts in advance.

  • Oracle XE and character set

    Hello all,
    I installed Oracle XE on RHEL 4 Linux and I found out that database character set is AL32UTF8. Does anyone know why oracle choose this character set? Maybe because of NLS_LANG env variable? Is it possible to change it to EE8ISO8859P2? Since database is still empty I can drop it and crate new database.
    Do you think it is possible to set some env variables and do new oracle xe instalation including database with iso charset?
    I want to have EE8ISO8859P2 charset because of doing exp/imp from another oracle iso db to oracle xe and it is much easier to do this without charset conversion.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    regards,
    Miha

    When you download XE, you have a choice - take the 'western european' character set download, or the 'unicode' download.
    No other choices.
    Join us over in the XE forum where people have discussed this and found workarounds. Info about finding that forum at Re: Oracle XE Installation failed

  • Character sets and ado

    I have a table with a clob field on an Oracle 8.1.7.4 database. When querying the clob field via odbc and ado the value is truncated. The Oracle server and client are using a WE8ISO8859P1 character set. Has anyone come across this before.
    Thanks.

    I believe the data should be able to be represented by IS0-8859. The data is a long random string of characters that represents a fingerprint image.
    We seem to only get 996 characters back from the database. If I do a getchunk on the data then I get 996 characters of data, then 996 NULLS, then 996 characters of data and so on. The 996 NULLS should be data.
    The data is in the database because I can do a dbms_lob.substr and get the correct info back.

  • HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

    The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
    "Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
    Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
    I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
    Help me!
