Firefox 4 -- just downloaded and menu & top bars are in some strange language - not english. I can't seem to get to a tools menu to change the language because I can't read the top menu.

Just downloaded Firefox4 and can't read the top line menu because it's in some strange language with symbols instead of letters. How do I get it to display English in the top line menu?
If I could read the menu, I'd go to tools and see if there were an option to change the menu language, but since I can't read the menu choices, I'd only be pushing meaningless buttons.

Thanks. I tried it and get the attached screen. I don't see anything which lets me change the language in the menu.
Before I give up completely & just stick with Chrome or IE, I'll bring my laptop which has a correctly configured version of firefox 4 side by side with my desktop & use it as a template for clicking on the correct gibberish lines. I still don't see an option for changing menu bar language, but I'll search around a bit.
It would help if I could get phone contact with someone at Mozilla, but they don't seem to list a phone number on their help page ----

Reading a text file with foreign language characters

I'm trying to convert foreign language characters to English looking characters. I have code that works, but only if I hard code the string with foreign language characters and pass it to the function. I cannot figure out how to get my program to read
in the foreign characters from my file, they come in as garbage.
Since the function works when I pass a hard coded string to it, I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I have the Streamreader set up, it's just not reading the characters correctly...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader "m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with English characters
Function removeAccent(ByVal myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
I know that removing the accent changes the meaning of the word, but this is what the user wants so it's what I need to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks!
Joni

Finally got it to work. I had to remove the first 5 characters from the replacement string (ŠŽšžŸ), couldn't find encoding that would handle these, and to be honest, I didn't really need them. The important ones are still there, was probably
just overkill on my part.
UTF7 worked for the rest...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter
ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with english characters
Function removeAccent(ByRef myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
Thanks for all your help! Greatly appreciated :)

FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
Thank you!
Melody

Hello Melody,
If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
Thank you,

Junk symbols for asian language characters in PO PDF

Hi,
We have a custom program to generate the PO output and I have changed it to send the PO output to multiple emails/users using the steps given in the below link.
The issue I'm facing is that when the PDF is generated and emailed,if I open the PDF in the email,for asian language characters in the PO data,I see wierd symbols.
Has anyone faced this issue?
This is happening for even the standard PO output/email which is sent out which indicates that this is something with the WINDOWS/ADOBE settings .
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
You have to make sure that the spool was created by the correct device type which does support
the language, you can change to the cascading device type SWINCF in SPAD, all unicode characters
can be handled by this device type, note 812821.
Secondly, goto SCOT-> Settings-> Device Types for Format Converstion, here you must set the
correct device type too, you can change the device type to also SWINCF here for the used form language.
Best regards,

LINUX compiled fmx: Specific language characters showed as "?"

Hi:
I develop under windows IDS 9i and compile forms in Linux with f90genm.sh. The problem is that specific language characters such as "cgsmb" etc, are showed as "?" !
What's wrong ? It's a bug or a non-functionality in FMB files between plataforms ?
Thanks
Joao Oliveira

Is it possible that your font on Linux doesn't contain those characters? Using that font in another application, can you see those characters? If so, what happens when you copy-and-paste them into Forms?

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.

I cannot view any Ethiopian Amharic language characters.

I cannot view Ethiopian Amharic language characters. The characters appear as small square symbols, not the Amharic characters. This happens on every website I visit with Amharic language. The url below is only one of the websites I visited where I had the problem.
== URL of affected sites ==

Do you have a font installed?

Language Characters in File Name

Hi All,
Need your help to solve a problem which I face in my current interfac. I am currently working on SFTP to File scenario where we use Advantco SFTP Adapter. The problem is SFTP sender adapter doesn't process the files which have Language characters in the File Name. No errors are thrown and no processing of the file happens in Message Monitoring. One probable option which I already tried was to use the text encoding but that works on the content and not the file name. Just wanted to check if any body can help in suggesting some solution. Also, even for content is there a need to change the encoding for Language characters or they should be left as Binary Type. PI is SAP PI 7.11.
How does the standard SAP PI File Adapter handle scenario with File Name having language characters. Is it correctly processed or how do we handle that for correct processing, may be the same can be applied for SFTP adapter.
Best Regards,
Pratik

Hi Pratik,
Under certain operating system platforms, such as Solaris, the
APIs used by the Java Runtime (JRE) are not Unicode-aware.
Consequently, the JRE needs to be configured to correctly
interpret the character set it receives from the operating
system.
This is configured through the "file.encoding" system property as
well as the "LANG" environment variable.
Make sure you set "file.encoding" to a character set (such as
ISO-8859-1) that supports the special characters you would like
to process. This system property can be configured by appending
"-Dfile.encoding=adm user: setenv LANG de.ISO8859-1. For additional details
on 'How to Work with Character Encodings in PI' the following
guide can also be followed:

I hope this helps.
