Production tips for multi language titles...Arabic plus others...

I am teaching a DVDSP course with a student who will produce multi language titles. Arabic is the primary with French, German, and English as the alternates.
I follow the scripting ideas to test for which language the users select but I have a question on the menu production process.
Is it this?
Set language on Mac to Arabaic-Author this menu set-likely 2-3 menus
Save work
Switch language set to German-Author the same menu sets
Save work
Ditto for French and English.
Switch back to Arabic and finish the project.
Or this?
Graphic buttons with 3 states each for German, French and English? Accept the issues with layered menus.
Happy Holidays!

Set language on Mac
Sorry Michael, but what exactly do you mean by that? And why would you need layered menus?
In my book there are three approaches to the task.
First: create 4 language folders in the project for Arabic, French, German and English. Create identical graphics and overlays for each menu set, except of course text which will be different for each language. Import them into DVD SP and change project language for each set to put menus in place. Make sure your VTSM does not go over 1 Gig. Author the DVD.
The only problem with this approach is the user settings on a DVD player. If the user never bothered to change from default English to anything else, then only English menus will be displayed.
Second: Create all your menus (in different VTSMs if you like, especially if content differs. It is not necessarily to do so). Create "Master" menu with language choices. Branch from it to language sets. Use "Display condition" in the advanced tab for tracks and menus for navigation tracking. Saves tons of redundant scripting.
Third: Script your menus for tracking and re-directing navigation to the correct language of user choice. The only way for Spec authoring environments such as Scenarist.
Needless to say the menus should be created outside of DVD SP
Good luck to you and your student, and happy Holidays.

How to use a dictionary for multi languages when displaying mess

how to use a dictionary for multi languages when displaying messages??

1st you have to define new messages in the dictionary:-
1.     We have to open the application.
2.     Functional administrator responsibility.
3.     Core services.
4.     Messages.
•     Create message button.
•     Now fill the name of the message that we want to call it from our code in the Code field.
•     Fill the application name with short name of the application.
•     Choose the language.
•     Set the text you want to be displayed.
2nd, Now in the CO in the in the process form request you will code throw new OAException ("application short name","Code").
Now run and see the result.
3rd we want to use Arabic messages, use the same one you have created for saving as an example but you choose duplicate and set the language Arabic.
•     Run the page.
•     Choose preferences.
•     Current Session language = Arabic.

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

You should not use any more Oracle 9.0.1 but at least Oracle 9.2.0.8 to get some extended support if you really cannot upgrade to 10g.
I don't have any Oracle 9.x database available but I've run successfully following test with Oracle 10.2.0.1 in character mode under Linux:

Is Locale required for multi language?

Hi Folks,
I used Locale to represent multi language or directly using unicode characters, these 2 scenarios as follows:
Using Locale:
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
 String language;
 String country;
 Locale locale;
 ResourceBundle rb;
 language = new String("hi");
 country = new String("IN");
 locale = new Locale(language, country);
 rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle", locale);
 System.out.println(rb.getString("localeInfo") + " ( " +
locale.getDisplayLanguage() + "," + locale.getDisplayCountry() + ").\n");
 out.println(rb.getString("welcome"));
 out.println(rb.getString("sayThanks"));
%>
</body>
</html>And the property file is with name "MessagesBundle_hi_IN.properties":
localeInfo = \u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0020\u0915\u0949\u092a\u0964
welcome = *\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0020\u0915\u0949\u092a\u0964*
sayThanks = \u0917\u0941
i got the required output.
Now with out using Locale i directly pass the unicode value directly and got the same output.
String text="*\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0020\u0915\u0949\u092a\u0964*";
//Character.subset block2=Character.subset(text);
out.println(text);
As we can do the same thing directly passing unicode with out using Locale then what is the use of it?
Thanks.
Edited by: RajeshwarReddyT on Jul 16, 2009 10:05 AM

Uhmm, the ability to present different text to different users dependent on the locale they are running in? Without having to pass in the specific text for a specific locale like you do in the second option?
Not to mention all the other stuff like date/time, numbers etc. that you also want to change acdording to locale - but since you specifically ask about language, let's ignore that.

Hi Jasmine,
I think you should try the SDN Search the next time before posting. You would have found this: [BSP/HowTo: Generate PDF Output from a BSP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1002]. Also crossposting the same question is a bad behaviour.

Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?

Product ID for second issue of multi viewer app

hi,
I've in this forum already found very usefull info about publishing the second issue of a free multi viewer app but still can't figure out if we have to use the same Product ID for each issue, or do we need to create a different Product ID for each issue ?
I've put two examples below, suppose one of them has to right. Or not ??
Is this the way to handle multiple issues (option 1):
product ID issue 1 = Product ID issue 2 = com.magnusmedia.magname
Or is this the right way (option 2):
product ID issue 1 = com.magnusmedia.magname.01
product ID issue 2 = com.magnusmedia.magname.02
thanx in adavance
Herman
Allright, was in a hurry and tested it out myself.
Option 2 is working for me, hope it's right to handle it that way.
With option 1 the app crashes (dark gray screen, no folio opens, library- en scrolling buttons are available but)

Short answer: Yes, use a different Product ID for each folio (or for each set of folio renditions).
Longer answer: It's confusing that there are three different types of Apple Product IDs:
(1) the app Product ID, which you can ignore
(2) subscription duration Product IDs for a paid app or a single Product ID for a free subscription app
(3) a Product ID for each retail folio
When you're setting up a free subscription app, you don't need to use iTunes to create a Product ID for individual folios, because your folios are free. You just need to set up a free subscription Product ID in iTunes Connect and specify that Product ID in the DPS App Builder. On the Adobe side, you use a different Product ID for different folios you publish, such as com.publisher.publication.2012October and com.publisher.publication.2012November. If you're creating renditions, you use the same Product ID for the different renditions and different Product IDs for different sets of renditions.

Multi language support for Adobe interactive form

Hi ,
I translated the adobe form in multi language in SE63, If i execute the form with passing LANGU(language) parameter, form supports for multi language.
I created XML schema based interface and if a execute interactive form in Webdynpro, i am unable to pass launguage(LANGU) parameter. because InteractiveForm element property does not have language key parameter.
Apart from creating different language dependent forms, is there any alternate way we can pass the LANGU key parameter to Interactive Adobe form???

Hi Thomas
Let me share my few more investigation on the same, I chaged form each element property to login language.
and translated form to other languages. If directly execute form in sfp with loging in different language i am getting right result. it means even no need to pass the LANGU parameter.
But same thing if i execute from Webdynpro i am getting default 'EN' language form, even though i login in 'DE' language.

Multi-language support for ABSL messages

Is there some best practice or feature for multi-language support of ABSL messages (as it exists for the UI since 3.5). Currently we are maintaining messages in several languages (one message entry in the BO per language) and depending on the current user language we raise the respective message. However, with an increasing number of supported languages this becomes quite tedious.
- Daniel

Hi Daniel,
unfortunately there is no other way than the one you described. One thing that may make your life abit easier: In a business object you can refer to messages from another business object. This means you can create one business object "messages" that holds all messages so that you have all messages in one .bo file and not spread across all your BOs. The translation process is easier, if you have all your messages in one file.
Best regards,
Thomas

Multi language support for Adobe interactive form in ABAP WD

Hi,
As far as i know when you use Adobe forms in a WD4A application, language is your "web" connection language.
You can have a look at standard class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICE, it's used when generating an adobe forms from WD4A. , more particulary look at method DETERMINE_DOCPARAMS.

Multi-language narration tracks for DVD

Hello --
I am using Adobe Pre 7, and I have a project where I need to create narration tracks in two different languages. I want the user to be able to select the language track from the DVD menu. Is it possible, if so, how? If not, what are my options?
Thank you for any informations.
Mike

Mike,
This is easily done in Adobe Encore, but that program is only available as part of PrPro.
PrE does not allow for multi-language Tracks (or any multi-Audio Tracks, like DTS).
Now, Sony's DVD Architect is highly recommended as a full-featured authoring program, but I do not use it (I use Encore), so do not know if it can handle multi-Audio Tracks. Steve Grisetti, our trusted MOD here, has written the book on DVD Architect, so he will know if it will handle this.
I would strongly recommend accessing the various Audio Tracks via a Menu, though the user can use the Audio button on the remote, it is a nice touch to also give them a Menu.
Good luck,
Hunt

Multi Language Support implementation

Hi, Iam currently working in Oracle 9i database configured for multi-language support. Iam able to enter Chinese characters into the database and view it through i-Sql plus. But not able to view it in Crystal Report XI R1 Service Pack-3. Can any one help me out to view Chinese characters in Crystal Report XI Thanks in advance With Regards Bennate

No I am using VB (ADO, ORAOLEDB) to insert the data. In my VB code I know the data that I have is unicode. I cann see it by doing val(ascb(midb(Comments,2))) * 256 + val(ascb(midb(Comments,1)))
Also if I use sql plus editor to insert some data using insert into abc value nchr(64037), I can retrieve this data using my VB.
While inserting I am using a stored procedure command and am specifying the type as 202 (adVarWChar).
Does the client setting (NLS_LANG) need to be anything specific? I tried setting it to UTF8 as well

Multi Lingual Titles

We are developing a fully multi-lingual system and require the text displayed as report titles / headings to vary dependent on a 'locale' parameter. This does not appear to be possible - am I missing something?

Is is possible with Oracle Reports!
See the sample page on otn:
http://web39-04.us.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/live_examples/multibyte/utf8demo.pdf
Please see more information from otn how Oracle Reports 9i support multi-languages.
