Same column handling different languages

This is more of a generic question.
While creating a multilingual website which allows for data to be entered in multiple languages, there is an issue if this data in different languages starts to go into fields which have a primary/unique constraint then its integrity will be compromised.
The DB is UTF8 compliant.There are lot of multiligual websites out there that might face similar problems.Whats the workaround for this.
- Create another record for different language entry and link it to primary record which is in English.So lot of multilingual records for one main record.
- Make columns language specific and control it trough front end making constrained columns with same language.Though with this it becomes a user usability issue in that user has to keep switching his keyboard language support.
Any inputs would be extremely valuable.

Hi,
In the report query you can conditionally generate the links.
Example.
select
case when status = 'schedule' then '<a href="'||'f?p=&APP_ID.:150:&SESSION.::NO:150:P150_ITEM1,P150_ITEM2:'||
value_for_item1||','||lvalue_for_item2||'">status </a>'
when status = 'active' then '<a href="'||'f?p=&APP_ID.:200:&SESSION.::NO:200:P200_ITEM1,P200_ITEM2:'||
value_for_item1||','||lvalue_for_item2||'">status </a>'
else status end column_title,

How to handle different languages in Illustrator for big clients?

Hi Guys,
I need small suggestio for 'How to handle different languages in illustrator for big clients'. For instance; Arabic, this is a language which needs to be read from right to left instead of left to right. There are other strange languages as well (Cyrillic, Chinese etc.). It happens also that when you copy strange languages from a word file it will not be easy to paste it the correct way in a .ai file. Besides that, it’s also difficult to do a language check when we are not able to read it!. So, to make a long story short, I want to figure out how we can deal with multiple language circles?
Can you some please give me the solution for this...
Thanks in advance...
HARI

I take it you might come from an arabic background.
Here is how you can help yourself to some degree.
Google has a translation feature and service which is at the moment free. It is excellent.
Secondly if you are working with ME languages you really need the ME version of Illustrator or any other Creative Suites Application in order for it to work properly.
It, is also best to enable the language and the input for that language for your system on the Mac it is easy you go to the Language and text feature in theSystem Preferences, once enabled you can select the fro the menu bar under the American flag if you are in the US. Thst will appear once you have more than one language selected.
You select the language input you need and then a font for that language then paste and edit.
You need fonts on your computer that are of those languages as well.
How to manage this as a work flow well that is something you will have to work on yourself or hire a consultant who specializes in this area.
We had a few visit here when they have come across a snafu. So they exists.

How can I create 2 catalogues (same design but different languages)

Hello,
I have to launch 2 catalogues (32 pages) in Indesign, with an equal layout but different languages. My client will need to start them both and won't wait for a agreement on a Master file. He'll update the layout all along the realisation (color, pictures and graphic design). To avoid waisting time by correcting twice, would you have a tip to link both composition and enhance automatically the background layout and ajustements over and above the languages ?
What would be the best method ?
Thanks a lot for your advices !
Caro.

Welcome to the discussions.
In the Accounts tab of Mail's preferences, you can set the Full Name (I don't know how it will be labelled in French - it is the 3rd field in Account Information). This is the name that will be displayed in the From column of the recipient's mail client.
But if the mail accounts are for two different users, it would be better to set up a separate login account on the mac for each of them, and then set up the mail preferences for the separate users.

XI: Call same RFC with different language codes?

Hello all!
I have a unique situation where I need to use XI call an RFC twice, but each call will use a different language code.
I've created 2 receiver determinations and interface determinations. I've also created 2 communication channels, one for each language code, but the problem is that I cannot create a second receiver agreement to point to the second communication channel.
Anybody know how I can accomplish this?

Hi,
I would like to sugget you to use only one channel and create an extra parameter for the language on your function module. Then, you can specify the language everytime you need to call it.
regards.

Merge Two Tables with the same columns but different data

I have a table that has the following columns:
Current Table Definition
commonname
family
genus
species
subspecies
code
I have a number of entries that donât fit the current table definition â that is that they only have a common name or description and a code. These records donât actually represent a species but are needed for data entry because they represent an object that may be encountered in the study (Bare Ground â which isnât a species but would need to be recorded if encountered). So I would really like 2 tables:
Table 1 Miscellaneous
name
code
Table 2 Plant Species
commonname
family
genus
species
subspecies
code
I would like two tables so I can enforce certain constraints on my species table like requiring that the family, genus, species, subspecies combination is unique. I canât do this if I have all the âotherâ records that donât have a family, genus, species, or subspecies unless I put in a lot of dummy data into the fields to make each record unique. I donât really want to do this because these miscellaneous records really donât represent a specific species.
So â the problem is that while I want this data separate I will need to point a column from another table to the code column in both tables.
How is this best done? Table? View? Merge?

Hi,
Actually you don't have to use scope refs. Sorry but I misunderstood you earlier. Here is a complete example that does exactly what you want. Notice how I added the constraint to the materialized view. Also notice when we try to insert a code in tbl3 that doesn't exist in the view, we get an error. HTH.
SQL> create table tbl1 (name varchar2(10), code varchar2(3) primary key);
Table created.
SQL> create table tbl2 (commonname varchar2(10), code varchar2(3) primary key);

EREC: Handle different languages in E-Recruiting

Hello Experts,
I'm working in a Global Rollout of E-Recruiting and I have a couple of questions about languages:
What is the dirver for I show the data on applicat's mother tongue?
How can I set up this in SAP?
Thanks!
Sivani

The most important point is that you must have the languages defined in V_T77RCF_SELANGU as otherwise if not defined here then issues will arise with the candidate overview, applications etc. as this is the setting which defines and recognizes eg. in the search, posting texts, questionnaires etc.
If you want the supplementation of the whole text on the frontend then you would need to supplement all responsible tables eg. t77rcf_* and so on (and also the OTR texts)
Check also
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/04/c89d3665c45904e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm
Notes 1143022 and 830591, 195442 lists further details also and check documentation for table V_T77RCF_SPT_LAN for ext_post so it is searchable for postings.
Hope it would help!

Trying to access Apple Store and keep getting a message saying it's being updated saying the same thing in different languages, been like this for about 4 hours now?

First time I'm trying to access the Apple Store on my iMac and for the last few hours I have a message in various languages saying it is being updated.

It is down the world over. Apple is announcing new iPhones (and perhaps more) today at a press conference near Apple HQ in California USA at 12:00 o'clock noon, Pacific Day-light Savings Time. You can expect the Apple Store, updated with the new products, to come back online shortly after the press conference.

Group by same column with different conditions

Hi All,
I have the following SQL statement
select Sum(Total), Region, Code from table_A group by Region, Code
Code has distinct values of 1 to 10 for each Region.
Is it possible to group by Region, Code < 5 and Code > 5.

Here is a solution which I have but wanted to see if there is any other way to do it.
select Sum(Total), Region,'code<5' as Code from table_A group by Region, Code having code < 5
union
select Sum(Total), Region,'code>5' as Code from table_A group by Region, Code having code > 5

Multiple values from same column in diffetent columns in same row??

Hi all,
I am wondering how you can display different values from the same column into different columns on same row. For example using a CASE statement I can:
CASE WHEN CODE IN ('1', '3') THEN COUNT( ID) END as "Y"
CASE WHEN CODE NOT IN ('1', 'M') THEN COUNT( ID) END as "N"
Yes this will produce two columns needed but will also produce two separate records and null values for the empty's.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Creating help in different languages

Hello,
What is the easiest way to create same help in different languages?
Let's say I create help in English, and than I want to create that same help in some other language. How to do it?
Also, I don’t translate it my self, so what is the easiest way to sent the content of help to translator and import it back into RoboHelp.
Thanks for answers

Hello,
Professional translators use tools (like Trados Tag Editor... but there are others) that separate the text from the tags. This way, only the text is translated and sent to a Translation memory for further reuse. Tags are protected during the translation process.
You just need to send them the *.htm files. They'll send you translated htm files that you'll just have to reincorporate into your help project.
You must also send the HHK and HHC files if you want the index and TOC translated. We prefer to recreate them from scratch in the translated project.
We use one help project per language. If you have RH8 and your help content is not too big, you might want to consider using the new multinlingual feature: having a single project but one output per language. I've not had a look at it yet so I can't tell you what it's worth.
Hope this helps.

IBooks in different languages

Do you need a new ISBN when you're releasing a same book in different language?
Also, does categories will be translated when I setup the those in iTunes producer?
If not, how can I setup the categories?
Thanks in advance!

If it's in another language, it's not the same book....if it's not the same book, you need another ISBN.
Not sure what you're asking about translated categories, sorry. I think, tho, that once you submit a language-specific book that is not the same, you'll see what you need to do.

Smartform layout in different languages

Hi Experts,
How will i display a letter in smartform in different customer languages?
Thanks,
Abaper.

Persis,
if the language parameter, be it a flag or sy-langu is passed to the Smartform, then u can have different variables for the same text carrying the same word in different languages. Based on the language parameter, u can use conditions in ur Smartform to display the correct word depending on the language. Hope u clear...

Store data in different Languages

Hi,
I have to display the same data in different languages like if japans user then there will Japanese Language and if India then English language for the same data.
Is there any way for the same?
Thanx.. Ratan

Ratan,
I dont think so , you have got that in a database ,rather the applications which your users should have the language compatibility.
i.e the interface which has options of selcting languages and displaying the same for them.

Change title to different language

Hi guys,
I just finished editing 23 food commercials for a client. Each video has some steps writting out what you have to do in a language. Each video needs to be translated in 2 other languages. Now I'm just copying the titles and translating them in the project window. Almost done with that. But is there a way that I don't have to replace each title on each timeline? The titles all have the same name. For example: Dutch title is named '0 title'. French is also named '0 title' etc..
I already tried selecting all the titles from the French language and just dropping them into the timeline. It works but I manually have to adjust the lenght of each title. So basically I'm looking for a proces to automate this. Is this possible or do you have any suggestions or shortcuts tot do this?
Thanks!

Hi merchant,
thanks for the reply. I know but that's not the problem I just want to recplace all the titles in a timeline with titles wich have been translated. All titles have the same name in different languages. Manually switching titles takes quite a long time.. 300 titles x 2 languages...
Hope this helps.
