Simplified Chinese characters in iGrid

Hi,
Does anyone know how to insert simplified Chinese characters in the headings of an iGrid applet.
Thanks,
Ahmed

Thanks Sam,
However the iGrid editor does not take in Chinese characters. When I pasted the Chinese characters in the headings fields of the layout pane of the iGrid editor they came out as little boxes. Even after saving the template and viewing it in IE they still came out as little boxes.
I opened up the saved template's XML file in a unicode editor pasted the Chinese characters for the headers then changed the font from the default Dialog to SimSun. SimSun is not one of the fonts available in the dropdown list of fonts in the iGrid editor. I then saved the XML file and re-viewed in IE and the Chinese characters displayed properly.
Regards,
Ahmed

Simplified Chinese characters changed

Dear sir,
We are using SAP 4.6B with code page 8300 (ZF). I know we cannot recognize simplified Chinese characters, but we still can receive them and store them into our table without change any codes when our client transmit data from EDI. But recently we started to use webMethods 6.0 to receive XML messages from our client. When they send XML with simplified Chinese characters to us, we found the characters saving in our table are different from those characters in webMethods. We don't know what system changed the characters, we had debug webMethods, the characters are OK before call RFC, but after call RFC, the contents in table are different. Our XML is using UTF-8, and the settings in webMethods is 'EN' for SAP logon.
Thanks for your response, please tell us how to fix the error or what configuration should be done, thanks!
Joanne Wu

Joanne,
I think the answer lies in your question itself. Can you try the SAP logon with ZF languange. Is there any testriction for using that? Most probably it sould work.
Best wishes,
Thomas.

Input Simplified Chinese Characters into Microsoft Powerpoint

Please help!
What's the easiest way to put Simplified Chinese Characters into Microsoft Powerpoint???
I have a mandarin project due like in a week, and I've been trying to find out how to do this on a mac. I've tried the international thing on preferences, but it doesn't work very well, and doesn't even work on powerpoint. Any help would be awesome!!!!
Cheers!

the characters turn out as wierd symbols
You should really have no problem with Office 2004. You might make sure you have the MS Chinese Fonts selected for your text field (SimSun.ttf and PMingLiU.ttf. They appear in the Font menu as 宋体 and 新細明體.)
Send me a screenshot if you like (tom at bluesky dot org).
If problems continue, you can ask in the Chinese-Mac group:
http://groups.google.com/group/chinesemac/
or the MS PowerPoint group:

Pls help - Displaying Simplified Chinese characters

Hi all,
I am using Servlet to generate HTML.
When I use setContentType="charset=big5" and out.println(" . . . ."); with Big-5 Traditional Chinese characters, everything is fine.
However, when I use setContentType="charset=gb2312" and out.println(" . . . ."); with GB2312 Simplified Chinese characters, everything is trash with some ??????.
The internet browser in both cases can correctly set to the appropriate character set, that is, in the 1st case it is big5 and in the 2nd case it is gb2312.
Pls help

It should be because the font provided cannot handle the characters. Java only ever sprays question marks or rectangles at you if the font you're using is incapable of displaying what you're trying to show.
I'd imagine that the system's default font is capable of displaying Big5 Chinese characters quite happily if it's working on the page. The problem will come when you switch the encoding of the page and the characters within it. The same default font obviously can't display GBK stuff. So switching the font (probably through the use of <FONT face=""> tags) might do the trick.
Hope that helps!

IPad Emails received in Outlook with Garbled Simplified Chinese Characters

My iPad users sent emails to Outlook(2003,2007) users but Simplified Chinese characters are all not readable!
The same email sent from Motorola smartphone has no such issue.
I report the case to Apple support on Nov. 3 and heard nothing until now.

Alardon wrote:
Hi all, sorry for opening an old thread.. I also experience the same issues. Does anyone know whether this problem have been resolved?
If you are having the same issue, the answer is "no". You could try to switch the OS language to Chinese and see if that makes a difference. The iPad has no way to select the encoding of outgoing messages, any adjustment necessary has to be made at the other end.

Simplified Chinese Characters

Hi,
What do I need in order for my application be able to store and retrieve simplified chinese characters in MS. Access?
thank you in advance

Possible answer: using Font key combos.
- for instance the combination 'x$#' may produce a chinese character that can be stored on the DB in the western font and then rendered by;-
myTextArea.setFont(chinese);
Hope that may help ...

Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters couldn't be displayed!

Hi all,
Recently I installed an Oracle 9i Database Server (9.0.1).
Problem regarding the globalization support issue was encountered after the installation of Oracle 9i Database Server. Parameters in NLS table had been checked that the language is initially set to AMERICAN, territory is set to AMERICA and the character set is UTF8.
Since traditional and simplified chinese characters must be required for the HK server, it is believed that the above parameters should be altered to TRADITIONAL CHINESE / SIMPLIFIED CHINESE, HONG KONG and ZHT16MSWIN950 / ZHS16CGB231280 respectively.
I tried to alter the NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS, but its not working; should the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS be changed instead? I also tried this one, changes is taken place but the chinese characters still couldn't be displayed, just bunches of 亂碼 (meaningless codes) instead.
Another piece of information is that the Oracle server is installed on the basis of Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, should the Language for non-Unicode programs (which is in the Advanced page of the Regional and Language Settings) be configured to Chinese (HKSAR)? Various combinations, in terms of English (US), Chinese (HKSAR), Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Taiwan), had been taken turns to test for the results. However, same results happened.
Hence, how should we configure? Please advice us.
P.S.# It is known that this question should be placed in the "Globalization Support" forum, I have done that; however, it is hoped that I could seek more advice in here.
Thx in advance.
Karen

Karen,
Setting up such an environment requires some sophistication and know how. I would advise reading though the Globalization Support Guide and som of the papers on the Globalization Home Page http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/index.html
before randomly attempting to change parameters. If your requirement is to store and retrieve both TRADITIONAL and SIMPLIFIED CHINESE then your database needs to be Unicode (UTF-8). Designing an application that allows you to easily access multilingual data requires careful design and planning. If you are simply trying to quickly display data you have in your database you might want to use iSQL*PLUS which is browser based and will allow you to display Unicode data. It might also be helpful to take a look at the following paper: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/globalization-best-practices.PDF

Newbie: Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes

Hi,
I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20. I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes.
I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.
What should I do?

When you say "displayed" I assume you mean displayed in some GUI component. In which case you should assign a font to that component which can render those characters properly.

Encoding or font problem? Simplified Chinese characters

Would be great if someone could help!
I don't know much about Dreamweaver but trying to use it to create an invitation in Chinese. I tried to edit a template I used for an English invitation. But when I preview it in IE, some characters become weird but some are fine. I tried to use different fonts to test, and set different encoding from Edit > Preference. But nothing really changes. I have attached the file in IE. Anyone knows what's wrong?
Thanks a ton!

The only help I can offer is a post made by David Powers to a similar question some time ago:
Change the page encoding. Modify > Page properties > Encoding. Depending
on the type of Chinese, choose Chinese Traditional (normally used in
Taiwan and Hong Kong) and Chinese Simplified (used in the People's
Republic).

Print problems double byte characters (ZH - simplified Chinese)

We are currently preparing a 4.7 (WebAS 6.20 on SLES) rollout in China and struggle with a severe printer problem. Our SAPScript forms contain a mixture of western and simplified Chinese characters. The printouts come just with either hashes, blanks or undefinable characters instead of Chinese. We generally use HP Laserjet printers there (1022n, 2300, 2420, 2600n, 4100, 6L). SAP patch level is 51 for SAP_BASIS (I know that's "a bit" behind). I've already checked a number of SAP notes but couldn't find anything really usable. Basically I think the reason is the printer themselves (installed fonts) and the problem might be solved by adding some DIMM modules containing the specific asian fonts (anyhow they seem to be hard to get as the printer models are rather old). Did anyone come across similar problems? I'd really appreciate any kind of info or help.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Markus,
thanks for the info. We've actually been able to get some DIMMs (hard to get, seems like they are not produced anymore, new printer models can be flashed either by CD or Flash Card) and, after we made some changes in the SAPScript forms (wrong character sets) it worked properly.
Frontend printing: definitely to be avoided, would only have been an option for a couple of days to get some additional time. One option I've also tried is a mixture of network and frontend printing: I've set up a windows server and used saplpd as a print server. You can point the SAP devices in SPAD to that server by setting up the device's destination host and host printer accordingly. Actually this should be avoided, too, as saplpd as a print server is considered to be very instable. sapsprint actually isn't better.
Anyhow - as we've managed to get the DIMMs it's working now.
Cheers,
Andy

Unable to read Simplified Chinese in downloaded excel

Hi,
We are running an MDMP Simplified Chinese SAP system.
After extracting some data with both English and Simplified Chinese and saving it as excel file, we are not able to view the Simplified Chinese characters when it is opened in MS Excel. "Garbage" are being displayed in place of Simplified Chinese. English display is ok.
The PC already has Simplified Chinese fonts installed (Control Panel->Regional & Language Options->Language tab->Install files for East Asian languages), and Windows XP is an English version.
In addition, we are able to key in Simplified Chinese via the keyboard using Hanyu Pinyin.
I am suspecting that the issue is with MS Excel which doesn't know how to convert the Simplified Chinese.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
as far as I know you need to set the system locale (Language for Non-Unicode programs) of Windows in the control panel to Chinese.
In addition in a standard MDMP system it is mandatory to logon with language Chinese if you want to download Kanji characters.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

Cannot Input and Display Chinese Characters by using ODBC Applications

Dear all,
I am trying to input the Simplified Chinese Characters in the Oracle Database Ver 9.2 running on a UNIX AIX server. The client application we are using is th MS Access 2003 running on a MS Windows XP English version SP 2 without multi-language pack. MS Office 2003 is also an English version.
Database setting is:
NLS_CHARACTERSET=US7ASCII
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=AL16UTF16
The Oracle Client used is also ver 9.2 with the ODBC driver ver 9.2. I have tried the following NLS_LANG settings by chaging the registry without any NLS_LANG environment settings:
AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950
AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK
AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16HKSCS
AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
I have tied to load some Chinese Characters in by sqlload and by using the NLS_LANG AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950, AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK and AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16HKSCS, they can be display perfectly in SQLPLUS. But when using the same NLS_LANGs and display in the ACCESS, only ???? are displayed.
When I tried to insert Chinese in ACCESS, the character changed to ???? again. No matter what Chinese characters I inserted by MS ACCESS, the ???? code can be dump with the binary code "03, 0f".
Are there any methods or settings I need to change to make ACCESS an application for inserting and displaying Chinese characters from the Oracle database?
I have tried to set the Non-Unicode setting in the Windows Locale setting:
Chinese (Taiwan) (With AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950),
Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R) (with AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16HKSCS) and
Chinese (PRC) (with AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK)
when inserting the Chinese Characters by Access. But they all failed with ???? inserted in the DB.
Please kindly advise what should be done.
Thanks.

Are you trying to store the character data in char/varchar2 columns?
If that's the case then you have a problem, since a US7ASCII character set can only handle, well, ascii data.
If you are trying to store the data in columns of nchar datatypes, then there might be a problem with literals because literals are converted to database character set first, before conversion to national (nchar) character set. Such data loss can also happen depending on how binds or oci calls are performed.
You could use the dump() function to verify what's actually stored in a database column, without a db - client conversion happening that may distort the facts.
Example:
SQL> select col, dump(col, 1016) from table where some_condition;

Simplified Chinese displayed as boxes with numbers

Firefox used to be able to display Simplified and Traditional Chinese character pages perfectly when it's set at "Auto detect- Chinese". However, ever since I updated to 4.0b7, Simplified Chinese characters have all started to be displayed as boxes with little numbers in them.
Despite trying different encodings, such as GBK and GB18030, nothing is able to properly display Chinese simplified characters. I have IE as well, and it is able to display both S and T Chinese pages without a problem like Firefox before 4.0b7. I'm using English version of FF with 64bit Windows 7.

The boxes with little numbers mean that Firefox is now unable to find a font which supports the characters in question. (It's nothing to do with the character set detection.) This could either be because the fonts have been removed from your computer (unlikely, if IE can find them), or perhaps because the website has changed to ask for fonts you don't actually have, or perhaps it's serving different pages to different versions of Firefox. Were you on 4.0b6 before, or 3.6.x?

Printing chinese characters in a zebra printer using SAP Interactive Forms

Hello,
We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with transaction SFP. In this form we have used some words in English and another ones using Simplified Chinese characters . We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD transaction using Device Type AZPL203.
We have defined an ABAP program to printout this form. When we print it in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Please if this is not the right forum, please could you adress me to the right one?
Thanks a lot

Problem printing simplified Chinese on PM4i printer using multi-byte data

I am new to printing data in Simplified Chinese and have tried for a period of time to get it to work but it is not working. I would appreciate any help.
This is what I have:
1. Chinese data stored as multi-byte data in oracle 10g db. It is in one of the attribute fields on the mtl_system_items table. The data field it is stored in is defined as varchar2(240). I have to extract that data and print it out as simplified Chinese characters on 3x4 label stock on PM4i printer which is setup to use IPL as the default language.
2. Purchased the simplified Chinese font kit ( compact flash card ) and plugged it into the compact flash port on back of the printer. The simplified Chinese font is assigned.
3. Created simple program to build the label file to send to the printer to print the Chinese glyphs. I expected 3 to print but it only prints 1 Chinese glyph and that is not the correct.

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
However, this is not the right forum for you. It is only for SAP Business One user. Please search entire forums first to find which one is more proper.
However, this issue may not be related to SAP at all. Search on the web would be better.
