Selecting OS language for multi-lingual systems

Hi,
I just got a T400 yesterday, which was supposed to include a multi-lingual version of XP (English/Swedish/Finnish). However, I never got the choice at startup to choose language, and it defaulted to swedish. I have already tried to restore the system to factory defaults from the Rescue & Recovery partition, but also then I didn't have a choice.
Is there anyone who knows how I can switch OS language to english, or, is there any way to check that my version is indeed multi-lingual?
Thanks in advance,
Per

Have you tried Control Panel / Regional settings / System Locale yet?

WCM for Multi-lingual Website How To?

Hi,
I am new to Oracle UCM, and would like to know if there is any link/document talking about WCM for multi-lingual website?
Which is the best way if a website contains content in different language such as English, Chinese, etc.
Thanks.

Sapan has provided a good start with the "lc" iDocScript command. However, this only works for your static strings such as menus, etc.
You will need to put a lot of thought into how to handle multiple languages with your data files. A lot of people have several copies of their web sites (one for each language), but this gets kind of difficult after the languages start to add up. WCM is very good at multi-site management, but the number one thing to keep in mind for multi-lingual: do not be fooled, it is going to take some real roll your sleeves up old fashioned work.
There are several options for multi-lingual site architectures and I recommend you spend a few weeks with an Oracle WCM Architect talking it out (either form oracle or one of the many partners). It's just too large a topic for a forum post to answer satisfactorily.

How to define additional virtual image directories for multi lingual app.

Hi,
In my ApEx application, for English language I want to use default image directory /i/, but for other languages I want to use seperate image directories like /i/fr/ for French etc. In - Translate Application -> Application Language Mapping , there is a text area to capture the Image Directory.
How can I define additional image directory (apart from /i/) in my multilingual application? What are the steps for defining these virtual image directories in a multi lingual setup?
I am using ApEx v 3.1.2 on 11g with embeded PL/SQL gateway.
Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
AV

Hi user11176657,
Can you use an application item in your replacement for the path?
Then you can set it at login.

Integration directory : select IDOC interface for WAS business system

Hi,
While adding a receiver determination for an WAS business system, I do not get any IDOC based message interface from the design repository proposed for my business system in the popup dialog.
The only interfaces that appear are for the non SAP standard SWCV that we added to the business system. But no interface for the APPL 5.0 SWCV ( or BASIS 7.0 ) appears.
In the SLD this component is correctly listed for that WAS .
If I remove all the default search criteria , eventually, the in terface appears but after selecting it I get a message saying :
"Message Interface does not exist in any software components installed on this business system "
Since everything looks ok in the SLD I'm puzzled. How does this look on other systems ?
Any ideas
( The business system was updated from APPL 4.70 / BASIS 6.40 to APPL 5.0 / BASIS 7.00 some time ago but I don't know how it look before the upgrade of the business system )

Hi Bavesh,
Yes, It's correctly listed. I did not manually link these components to the technical/business system. This happened automatically by the SLD data collector service. I also cleared the SLD cache several times,

Transaction Launcher for Multi Client system

Hi Gurus,
I need a very big help. This is my problem:
The CRM system on which I'm currently working has two client 1 and 2 and the second one
is closed to customizing, so that all the settings we can make are on
1. When we create a transaction laucher object, by
transaction CRMC_UI_ACTIONWZ, we got the following error: "An RFC
destination could not be specified for the logical system 2" (even if the connection are all set up)
and if we set it from 2 at the end of the process we get the
following message: "Client 2 has status not modifiable".
In this way both on client 1 and 2 we´re able to execute only
transactions of client 1.
All the settings have been done according to the official SAP guide.
Since on SAP guides there are no information about how set up the
transaction laucher in a similar situation, how can we solve this issue?
Please, reply as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot,
A.G.

Hi Helmut,
well I am also not sure what they did, but anyway, from the beginning on bw is designed to have only one client to work in. Technically I believe that all of the 'BW-Tables' storing the BW metadata don't have a client field. So how will you separate developments of different clients?

Apple TV2 missing analog audio output for multi-zone system

Found out the hard way that most receivers can't support digital audio in multiple zones (i.e., Zone 2). Since Apple TV2 (ATV2) dispensed with any analog output, if you have a whole-house system that depends on mult-zone to distribute audio to various speakers, you won't be able to use ATV2 to stream music to anything other than Zone 1. The only outputs are HDMI and optical (both digital audio). I think I found a work around (which, of course costs more money) which is a "de-embedding" device from Atlona that takes HDMI in and splits out the audio to analog and passes the HDMI through to the receiver. The analog audio output then lets me connect to the analog in on the receiver so it can stream to all zones. I figure Apple just didn't have enough real estate on the new product to make room for analog, but it's a pain. Hope this helps someone. If anyone knows a better work-around, I'd love to hear it.

I have the same issue with a MacMini I use for music. My solution was to use an inexpensive optical splitter - one feed to the optical input of my receiver and the second to a DAC. Then run standard RCA audio cables from the DAC to the analog Zone 2 inputs.
Here is a link for a DAC
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&pid=6884&seq=1&format=2
They should have the splitter as well.

Merge PDF Object for Multi-Lingual Repository

Hello All-
I have a repository with 3 languages and I want to merge 3 separate PDFs into a single record so I can assign them to their respective language layers.
The process I'm following (from the Data Manager Reference guide) is:
1. Upload the PDFs to the PDF objects table
2. Select all three PDFs
3. Choose Objects -> Merge Objects from the Main Menu
4. When the Merge dialog window opens, I double-click any language layer to assign the right PDF file.
At that point, Data Manager crashes. However, when I perform the same steps for merging images it seems to work.
This seems like a bug to me, but I thought I'd put it out here if anyone has any advice or can help me correct this.
Thanks
Tim
MDM Version 5.5 SP06 Patch 1 (5.5.61.48)

Hi Tim,
Try doing this way
1. In the Records pane, select all of the object records i.e PDF's you want to merge.
2. Right-click on the single selected object record you want to survive the merge and choose Merge Into from the context menu not main menu.
Since the right-click is necessary to identify the surviving record among the group of records to be merged, the Merge Into command is available only through the Records pane context menu and not the main menu.
Please let me know if this worked
Thanks

Inherritance for Multi lingual fields

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a limitation on the ammount of characters inheritat from the primary language.
I have the English as PRIMARY and Portuduese as SECONDARY language with inherriatance set.
Example: We load long Description(field type:Large Text) as English(Primary Language), the data dispalyed in the Data Manager for the Portuguese(which is inheritat) only shows half of the data loaded(truncated).
In short it seems that the inheritat data is truncated.
I would appreciate any insight to this
Chris

Hi Chris,
as the field and its meta definition (e.g. field length) is identical, you should always see the same text if it is inherited. This seems to be a bug. Maybe you can report it in OSS?!
Best regards
Michael

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.

Creating multi-lingual websites in ucm

Hello,
is it possible to create multi-lingual websites in ucm?
The product webpage (http://www.oracle.com/products/middleware/content-management/web-content-management.html) says yes. But I can't find anything in the documentation or in Site Studio.
Regards

Internal content server and site studio pages (and a few others) can use the "lc" iDocScript function and a set of resource files to localize things. From there you'll need to figure out an approach for multi lingual contribution regions which can be anything from some serious customizations to having a separate copy of the site for each language.

Change language for the Caller ID announcement

How can I change the Caller ID announcement from English to say German ?
I have installed the German text to speech package and that works as expected for messages text to speech so one would think that can be used for the Caller ID announcement as well.
Any thoughts, help ?
Cheers
chris

Hi MC
In the OP43 transaction (Setup group category-setup group Key SPRo ), select the setup group key for which you want the translation to be maintained, select the GOTO in the menu bar - click on the translation and select the Language for which you want to maintain the translation. Maintain your translated text here.
The other way is to Log in in the language you want to maintain the transaltion Go to OP43 and maintain the details.
You will have to maintain them in SPRO and the same will be reflected for the recipes in the respective login language in the master recipe.
If the solution works for you or is helpful, give suitable points.

Selection-screen language translation

Hi all,
I have a report which has the selection texts and list headings in English language. When I log in different language let us say Finnish(FI) I am not getting the selection texts and list headings. What should I do to get the Finnish selection texts and list headings at the selection screen when I log in Finnish langauge.
Waiting for replies.....

No need to goto SE63 ..Display the report..use menu Goto--Translation ..Select target language for translation.
This will lead to a translation screen. Select the element to be translated & press'Sequential Processing' for translation.
Here you will find all options for translation.
Translation of report involves translation of following elements
Column headers for the list
List header
Selection screen & its elements
Text symbols

Create Custom Languages for DVD

Hi... We are creating complex DVD's which use multiple Video and Audio angles. Audio angles give you the option of selecting a language for each track. My question: Is there a way to create a custom language Name... so instead of English, we call it Full Mix Audio - or something like that? I am doubtful about this, but just had top pose the question.
Thanks
Barry

If you mean changing the options in the pulldown for the audio, nope. For alternate audio I usually name the AC3s with names that are easy to see in the timeline (English, Spanish etc.)

Web Form Validation Message Language Setting at Runtime when work in multi lingual environment

Business Catalyst use the default culture language to display web form validation message.
When we are in multi lingual environment and not using subdoamin to handle multilingual sites, we found that the validation message did appear in the default culture setting. To make this work, we need to add the below script in our template.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.src= '/BcJsLang/ValidationFunctions.aspx?lang=FR';
script.charset = 'utf-8';
script.type= 'text/javascript';
head.appendChild(script);
</script>
Assuming the template is in french. You can change the lang parameter in the script according to your language.

After user 1 submits the page, it might not even be committed, so there is no way to have the pending data from user1 seen by user2.
However, we do have a new feature in ADF 11g TP4 that I plan to blog more about called Auto-Refresh view objects. This feature allows a view object instance in a shared application module to refresh its data when it receives the Oracle 11g database change notification that a row that would affect the results of the query has been changed.
The minimum requirements in 11g TP4 to experiment with this feature which I just tested are the following:
1. Must use Database 11g
2. Database must have its COMPATIBLE parameter set to '11.0.0.0.0' at least
3. Set the "AutoRefresh" property of the VO to true (on the Tuning panel)
4. Add an instance of that VO to an application module (e.g. LOVModule)
5. Configure that LOVModule as an application-level shared AM in the project properties
6. Define an LOV based on a view accessor that references the shared AM's VO instance
7. DBA must have performed a 'GRANT CHANGE NOTIFICATION TO YOURUSER'
8. Build an ADF Form for the VO that defined the LOV above and run the web page
9. In SQLPlus, go modify a row of the table on which the shared AM VO is based and commit
When the Database delivers the change notification, the shared AM VO instance will requery itself.
However that notification does not arrive all the way out to the web page, so you won't see the change until the next time you repaint the list.
Perhaps there is some way to take it even farther with the active data feature PaKo mentions, but I'm not familiar enough with that myself to say whether it would work for you hear.
