Providing multi-language capability

Hi everyone!
I am to develop a prototype that aims to store, display and sort data in multi-language. I've read a couple of documentations but I would appreciate it if you could suggest some other good articles hiding out there.
Aside from the concepts discussed in Java Internationalization, are there any other alternative ways in providing multi-language capabilities to an application?
Thanks in advance!

I am using MSArial Unicode font for displaying unicode strings in msaccess 2000.Using chineese strings stored in properties file i am able to display the chinese language strings in swing tool tips, but data fetching from database and displaying in JList is giving the ????? problem. JDBC is screwing up the data stream, as the same using VB ADO/DAO connectivity works.
Do you have any idea of what alternative drivers for JDBC can I use?

Provide Multi Language Content in Knowledge Management // Class deprecated

Hello,
I tried to implement the blog "Provide Multi Language Content in Knowledgle Management" by Thomas Kuri (BridingIT).
I have problems to import the the following class:
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.usermanagement.IUserManagementService;
I always get the warning "The type IUserManagementService" is deprecated. I use the following jar file for that:
j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.usermanagement\lib\com.sap.portal.usermanagementapi.jar
Is that the wrong jar file? Or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks for your help!!

Hi,
she's trying to implement the code example from this article:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/207ba610-08ac-2b10-1787-fc477da4b5bf
In this article, the deprecated class is used. Why? The code obviously is not written for EP7, but for EP6 with EP5 support. In the function: getEP5User is used to retrieve the EP5 user.
If you're not too experienced or just want to try something / PoC it's OK to just copy & paste some sample code. For using this code in an EP7 portal I would recommend to adapt the code.

Provide Multi Language Content in Knowledge Management blank page

Hi Team,
I have followed the document above from Thomas Kuri, but the result was an empty page with "jj" as text without errors.
My case (SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0):
1) I have two folders: "/documents/myCompany/de" with documents written in German and "/documents/myCompany/en" for English written documents
2) User can choose another language by click at the "English" or "German" link on the Masthead
3) Dependent on the choosed language, the right document should be shown in the iView.
I already have tryied these ways:
1) Create a JSP which includes the right KM document
2) Create a JSP with IFRAME and define the SRC as given in Thomas Kurt's document
3) Lookup an existing KM documents iView and set the "path" property in runtime
Thanks.
Regards,
Cengiz

Hi Kirsten,
yes I have found another way. Follow the steps below:
1) Create a folder in KM (e. g. "MyCompany")
2) Create two HTML files within the folder (e. g. "mydoc_de.html", "mydoc_en.html")
3) Dependent on language, write something into this files (e. g. "mydoc_de.html" => "Dies ist das HTML-Dokument mit deutschsprachigem Inhalt", "mydoc_en.html" => "This is the HTML document with English written content")
4) Start NWDS and create a new Portal Application Project
5) In the project properties, define the JAR files you need for implementing the solution (bc.jar, com.sap.portal.ivs..jar, com.sap.portal.navigation..jar, com.sap.portal.usermanagementapi.jar, com.sap.security..jar, gl_*.jar). If on server side not available, you must copy/paste the missing JAR file in your projects lib folder
6) Update portalapp.xml with the entry SharingPreference -> <application><application-config><property name="SharingPreference" value"..."/></aplication-config>
7) Write your first class (it's a simple Java class) named "PortalKMUtil.java". In this class - that was my solution - I have three methods: a) getUsedLanguage() to read out users langauge, b) getDocContent() to read the documents content named "mycompany_" + USER_LANGUAGE + ".html" and c) getEP5User(). The last method transforms EP6 user into the EP5
8) The second and last Java class in your project is an AbstractPortalComponent (I18NDocReader.java) with only three line of code. The responsibility of method doContent() is to call PortalKMUtil.getDocContent() with passing two parameters "request" and "mydoc". The return value of PortalKMUtil.getDocContent() - it is of type String - you can write in the response object
9) On the Portal side, create a new iView and use your own (new created) AbstractPortalComponent as template
10) Start testing in preview mode. Switch browser language if you can see the right content within the iview
If you need some sources, don't hesitate to write to me.

How to provide multi language to application?

Dear All,
I want to save some values as multilanguage.
There are my solutions:
my database table is:
language:
1. ID
2. Name
property:
1. ID //DBSequence
2. Code
propertyml:
1. Property_id
2. Language_id
3. Name
4. Description
my form:
[Create Insert button]
Code: inputText
Language: selectOneChoise
Name: inputText
Description: inputText
[save button]
But I'm facing problem.
How to save one moment "property" and "properyml" entity to database? Because when createinsert moment we don't have "ID of property table", i can't give property_id to propertyml table.
First i commit property entity to db, it is OK. But one moment, i haven't no idea.
I attached my application without sql script.
My project: http://www.4shared.com/file/_DkeiyY5/MultiLanguage.html

Hello,
You should first have an association between tour property and propertyml entities.
Then you need to create a VO With property entity.
Then add propertyml entity and check updatable
In attributes and the propertyml fields you want to file.
into you entity association, don't forget to check composition association and cascade update key attributes into relationship tab (*behavior*)
This will managed your created property id into your propertyml.
I hope this help.

Does iPlanet portal server provide multi language support?

HI There,
You should be able to set up multiple languages based on the user locale. You can have different templates for each locale within your custom template dir. By convention the following is the order when the portal server checks for templates:
1.<dir>_<locale> (the localized, cust. directory first)
2.<dir> (non-localized, cust. directory)
3.default_<locale> (localized default directory)
4.default (default directory)
Each locale can obviously support a different language.
Hope this helps

Infotype 2 - Multi-language?

Hello,
my client has a requirement where they would like to gather a person's name with 2 different character sets (at the same time). One in local character set (for instance Chinese), one in global character set (Latin). We have ECC6 unicode enabled, but we know that infotype 2 is not multi-language capable (while for instance infotype 1002 in PD is capable to do so)
Besides developping a custom PA infotype for this, aren't there standard (or maybe creative) solutions which could meet the above described requirement?

Creation of Multi language Hot links in OracleAS Portal 10g

Hi,
Will Oracle App Server + OracleASPortal 10.1.4 will support multil language Hotlinks creations?. multi-lang capability(something like www.domain.com/test?lang=CN)
Usually under htdocs folder we can create one folder ie as test and include .htm file will direct to that page.
Can we use Javascript to achieve this or any portal page parameter to read the lang JP, CN, EN as parameters and it will show the Chinese Version of test Page
could you please provide some suggestions on the above. Thanks
Regards
Sona

Your question is not clear at all. What are you trying to achieve here...? Are you trying to read lang parameter and pass to your portlet based on which the portlet gets rendered in the respective language..?
If yes, then you can have portal page parameter which will read the url parameter and bind that portal page parameter to your portlet.

Multi-Language content on BC

Can anyone share any experience with building multi-language sites on BC? I have a client in Eastern Canada that needs a site in French and English. Is the best approach to create two complete sites in different directories such as: www.mysite.com/fr/ www.mysite.com/en/ Can anyone provide sample sites where this has been done in BC? Are there other CMS's that are better equipped for multi-language sites? Thanks for your help!

Win 8.1. Core language and multi-language support.

HI,
I've used a US developed program with multi-language support for years in Win XT and Win 7. As the program now supports win 8.1. I've upgraded to 8.1. and the new release of the program. However it will not work properly and the reason given is
that my version of 8.1. has a different core language compared with what the program uses and this version is not multi-language supported. Now I wonder if there are various versions of the core language in 8.1. or is the core
language unique, supported by various language packets for menu's, guiding texts, etc. Why do I then need a multi-language supported program? Where can I put this question?
Regards
Sverre

I'd probably try them here.

Multi Language Character sets

Does anyone know if the oracle odbc drivers support multi language character sets?
I am trying to retrieve Chinese (prc) characters from the database (it is stored correctly and I have the Microsoft Multilanguage service pack installed). Odbc won't retrieve them correctly (actually stops after 1 row).
If I use the OLE DB driver, it does retrieve them. Is there a converter inside the OLE DB driver that ODBC doesn't have or is there a setting I'm missing? (The tool I want to use this with does not recognize OLE DB, is there a way top make it use oledb but defining an odbc connection??)
Cheers
Chris

The version number you're providing doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Oracle's ODBC drivers are versioned to match the version of the Oracle client they work with, i.e. 8.1.7.8 is the latest Oracle ODBC driver for the 8.1.7 Oracle client. In the Oracle 7 days, there was a 2.5x series of Oracle ODBC drivers. So far as I'm aware, there's never been a 4.x series of Oracle ODBC drivers.
AMERICAN_AMERICAN.UTF8 would be the option I'd tend to prefer on the client, particularly if you'll be working with more than just Chinese data (i.e. English & Chinese). I'm not sure what AMERICAN_AMERICAN.<some Chinese character set> would end up doing. There's a lot of info out there about NLS settings (including an NLS discussion forum) that might be helpful to you.
What OLE DB provider are you using that works?

Ultrasearch and Portal Multi-language

Does Ultrasearch provide any integration to the multi-language support in Portal? If a Portal user is working in French, does a Portal search return only the French content from the Portal Repository? Also, is there a way to specify language in the search?

Does Ultrasearch provide any integration to the multi-language support in Portal? If a Portal user is working in French, does a Portal search return only the French content from the Portal Repository? Also, is there a way to specify language in the search? UltraSearch will crawl Portal and take into account language information. However, the support for Portal item and page translations is not yet fully implemented. This means that UltraSearch will only be able to crawl a multilanguage portal in one language at the moment.
Portal search has full support for translations and will return content in the language of the user that initiated the search.
In 902 there is no way to restrict the search by language other than by logging in to the Portal in a different language.

Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.
