Script to change language

I need to find all cyrillic characters in a file and set their language to Russian. CS3 cannot find them with grep, so I reckon on doing them one at a time, can anyone help me with an Applescript line which would find X and set its language to Russian? The cyrillic characters in the font in question (Baskerville 10 by Storm) are unicode 0401 through 0491, I'm not sure if the script line needs to be of text or glyph type...
Thanks!
Andrew Brown
(PS. I use the sample find-replace script a lot, but don't know how to adapt it to this purpose.)

That works perfectly, thanks Peter ! -- AB

[JS, CS3] a script to change language in all paragraph styles

Hi,
I made a script to change the language in all paragraph styles to "French", but when I run it I get the error: "Invalid request on root style". Could you please tell me what am I missing?
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
for (i = 0; i < myStyles.length; i++)
myStyle = myStyles[i];
myStyle.appliedLanguage = "French";

Thanks a lot!
The problem is solved

Script to change language to all Paragraph Styles?

Is there a script out there that will change the language of all styles in a document? I frequently need to take US English files with multiple folders of styles and convert them for Canada English and French. Find/replace language does well enough for one-off use but I would like to clean up file as I go for future use without going through each style one and a time.
-Thanks!

If you are using OSX this AppleScript will change all the style definitions and text for the active document to French. Just edit the first line for the desired language so Canadian English would be: set lang to "English: Canadian"
set lang to "French"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    set pstyles to all paragraph styles of active document
    repeat with i from 1 to number of items in pstyles
        try
            set applied language of item i of pstyles to lang
        end try
    end repeat
    set cstyles to all character styles of active document
    repeat with i from 1 to number of items in cstyles
        try
            set applied language of item i of cstyles to lang
        end try
    end repeat
    try
        set applied language of every paragraph of every story of active document to lang
    end try
end tell

Script to change language for all style lables in one click

Hello,
We are a dutch pre press company and often we get (English or French or German) books that are translated into Dutch. And often the copublisher has created documents with 80+ stylelables. It is quite a pain to change all stylelables one by one into Dutch (for dictionary and correct hypenation). Quark has an option to save a document as multi language or singe language. With the last option the programme asks for the desired language and all stylelables are immediately changed to (in my case) Dutch. That works great. Maybe someone out there has a script to achive the same in Indesign (5 or 5.5?) Thanks in advance!
kind regards
Peter

Hi Selva,
I have been trying for a long time to change the paragraph composer of all paragraph styles in a document, say from Adobe Paragraph composer to Adobe single-line composer. Nothing goes. Do you know how I can do that? I work with the french version and the composers are named: Compositeur de paragraphe Adobe and Compositeur ligne simple Adobe. The following works for a paragraph style if i refer explicitely to its name. But then, I don't gain much. So I want to find a way to change ALL paragraph styles at once. Your help would be great.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPstyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("Indents");
myPstyle.composer = "Compositeur ligne simple Adobe";
Thanks in advance.

Want to move only japan language script which changed.

Hi All
I have a script in german and japan language.
I am changing script in japan language .
whlle transporting the script to Quality with TR no its transporting both language script.
but i want to move only japan language script which changed.
pls suggest.

Hello,
It is not possible to transport SAP script in only one language if it exists in multiple languages as the transport request is same for all the languages. If you have not made any changes in the other language, there will be no change in the target client for that language script.
Hope this helps.

Problem when calling script in different languages..

Hi,
            I copied F150_DUNN_01 standard sap script to ZDUNN in all 12 languages. And after that i changed the original language from DE to EN. Made some changes. When I am executing the transaction F150 it is calling the ZDUNN. The standard program is calling the script based on language. the language is not Login language, it is picking language from customer master. When the customer language is EN, am seeing the changes. When the languages is HU am not seeing the changes. Later i came to know that it is calling the same form in HU language, then i change the same ZDUNN form by loging in HU. And now If HU also the changes are coming.
             I copied the form in all 12 languages, and same name. When i change anything in EN its not reflecting in another language. So as per my requirement I changed in EN and HU. Now if the customer languages is not EN or HU, i want the form default in HU. Say if customer languages is RU, the print program is picking RU form, no changes in that. What will happen if delete the form in RU, what the print program will do?? will it pick default language or through any error?? Please tell me about this? And do you know how to copy standard script in only 3 languages in ECC 6.0???

Hi ,
If the form is not available it will cause shortdump (Ex: /E 143 Element is not Found )
When your creating or changing the form in the
Administrative tab you will find the Language attributes   Translate into all languages & To Individual Languages & Do not translate Go through that
You will find the lots of forums on this
Hope you will resolve your issue
Let me know if any concerns.....

Change language in Dream weaver CS5

Hi,
How can i change language of Dream Weaver CS5 from German to English?

This is as easy as it gets. Sorry to disappoint, but you rather be glad it is actually there and it's not like in other programs where you cannot switch languages at all. For all intents and purposes, this is not meant to provide an all out solution for flexible language switching, it is merely a fallback measure when the user needs to use prefab projects from the web or follow tutorials as wel las providing a compatibility fix for some plug-ins and scripts thatr do weird things in foreign language environments. Your program is still tied to the serial number you bought it with and that ultimately dictates any language settings. This also means that you cannot enforce other languages other than English. Would be pointless, anyways - you would have to have the proper Asian installer in the first place to even get the specific language files on your system. Same for otehr languages - a US/ North America installer will never give you Italian or German, just US English, Canadian French and possibly Spanish.

Printing script in different languages at a time

Hello experts
could you please solve my problem, i modified a standard script of dunning letter, the poblem is when we give print it should be printed 3 copies, each in different language, that is one dunning letter in english, one in german, one in french.
is there any solution for my problem, if yes please respond as early as possible
thank u

I guess it can be done by modifying the driver program and changing language inside the DO loop as shown in the below example.
Ex: Do 3 times
**First time ENGLISH
**Pass your open_form , write_form , Close_Form , don't forget to change the language variable.
***IF Language = ENGLISH
***Change LANGUAGE TO GERMAN.
***ENDIF.
***IF Language = GERMAN
***Change LANGUAGE TO FRENCH.
***ENDIF.
ENDDO.

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
Here is the start method to show the stage.
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
        this.stage = stage;
        Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
        ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
        loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
        root = (Parent)loader.load();
        FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
        controller.setMain(this);
        scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
          //change the language here
1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
         try
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            scene.setRoot(root);
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
        catch(Exception err)
            err.printStackTrace();
So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
Thanks and best regards!

Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
Why don't you want to use option 2?
Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that). If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change. Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.

I changed language from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US? in English

I changed language (based on an answer in this forum) from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US?
Should I just export my bookmarks, uninstall and reinstall the proper version? That may just be shorter than anything else.

GREAT!. Thanks a lot for educating me. There seem to be a million things we have to learn about our computers and when we run into them the first time they seem insurmountable. You pointed me to the solution. Thanks again. Ben

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

Changing Language in 6120

Hi all
I am having trouble with changing language in 6120.
Usually, I am use to change language by pressing the # key when i write some thing... BUT the thing is that in 6120, it will change the language only to the language you choose.
E.G main language is English, I write a URL in english that i want to get to, now, i am in the site and wants to write in Hebrew, However, the options of changing language by pressing on # key is only 123, abc, ABC but not Hebrew, even when i have Hebrew fonts installed. thus, i need to go to the language section, choose Main language as Hebrew, go back to the site and write in hebrew ... cant i do it just with the # key ?! so i will have 123, abc, ABC, אבג ... BTW, i had this option in my old 6230i

In July of this year, Apple made a change to the iTunes store which essentially makes this impossible (for now). Until that time, there was a workaround you could use as per their Knowledgebase which would let you set the language of the iTunes Store back to English, regardless of what country your iTunes account was based in.
There have been repeated attempts from the user community to get Apple to acknowledge and address this issue, but the customer service staff have thusfar only referred to the KB article, which doesn't actually help. For now, your only option is to select a different country's store by selecting the flag icon/button on the lower right corner of the iTunes store and reading about applications or music in another store...of course, this actually will log out out of your itunes store account, which means you can't purchase anything, and as soon as you sign back in, you will be forced to the language of the country your account is based in.
I find this policy of Apple's to be truly repugnant and counter everything they've strived to stand for - but it seems it's here to stay, as they won't acknowledge nor fix it.
Apple's staff only point to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242
This will not fix the problem we've all been having since July.
