Translating/ converting English text to foreign language in AppleWorks/Mail

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to write text in English on an Appleworks page or Mail document, and then have the system convert that to Czech? (Whether it be internally available with my Operating System 10.5.8, or available to download, or buy). I was able only to change the "flag icon" at top bar to Czech flag underneath American, but can not understand how (if at all) I can utilize....
thanks--

what do you mean by convert? if you really mean translate then no. there are no good tools in existence anywhere for computer translation from one language into another. that's very hard. there are some online tools like this one http://translate.google.com/# but they do poor job of actual translation if you need to translate actual text and not single words as anybody who used them can testify.

Translation of English content into another language in Life an work events

Gurus,
I am trying to setup life and work events for various countries. We have "before you start" HTML pages for all the different countries we are implementing the life and work events and each country has its own language. Now, my question is to find out if the content should be manually coded in each country's native language or is there any translation mechanism that can be used within the life and work events of the ESS to translate the English content to another language?
I also noticed "Add translated resource" inside the "Create Content Package object". I dont know, if this can serve my purpose. Could anybody please suggest how the translation of content can be achieved?
Thanks,
Maria Kutty Somori.....

No you will have to manually create iViews for new countries....
Maria...it works like this..
1.. First to select which country structure suits most your requirement...
2... You reuse that country structure and create services specific for your country...
e.g. You reused structure of US Address Data to create a service for Polland Address Data....
3... Now if required you can create an application specific to your needs in NWDI specific to your service...(If enhancements are required)
4... Create an iview in PCD....for this you can copy the existing iview for the country that you reused in step 1...
i.e. Copy US address data service and paste it with name Poland address data....Update its "application name" property with new web dynpro application name you defined in step 3...
Wotever above is written is not specific to LWE....
For LWE you need to go through an additional step :

Is there a software for InDesign that will translate my english text into spanish text

I have InDesign files in English text. Is there a software that will translate text into Spanish?
Thanks,
Sharon

It's well worth paying someone who knows both languages well to do the translating.
With software translation, at best, you get a rough translation. At worst, (especially when you can't read the language you are translating to), you could get something like this:

Display & Storage of text in Foreign Languages in BI without Language Pack

Hello Everyone,
We have an SAP BI system (7.0 EHP1 SP4) installed. It retreives data from an SAP ECC 6.0 system.
Both systems have the default Language Packs installed, i.e. English and German.
Currently there is a Rollout implementation in progress. Users are able to enter Text against Master data objects such as Vendor in other languages such as russian. It is possible to save such records and they are visible in Master data tables. Moreover, the Language Field is 'EN' . Thus it appears that ECC is able to store Russian Texts without the assistance of a Language Pack.
When we extract the same data into BI, all instances of Russian characters are replaced by '#'. We see this right from the PSA layer till the Infoprovider. in ECC, we are able to see the texts in russian within the Master datasource using Transaction RSA3,
As far as I know all new SAP installations since 2007 are unicode compliant. Our system certainly falls in this category. I am also aware that Language Packs are needed when we need to have menus to be displayed depending on the logon language of the user. We have no such requirement for BI.
Request your help to identify if there is any additional setting in either ECC or BI which will allow BI to accept and maintain texts in Russian and other languages for which no Language Pack is installed.
Thanks in advance

But, I have always experienced this problem with Safari, thus my turning to Firefox. Now, both have this affectation.
Are you sure it is Korean you are seeing? Do you know that language? Could you send me a screenshot (tom at bluesky dot org)? Sometimes bad fonts can cause things like this to happen.

Restore foreign language dictionaries AppleSpell /Mail

seems that th monolingual utility cleaned out the dictionaries used Mail and others
found in (could be my fault in selecting the languages to be removed).
In /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Resources/
I found only English.lproj (with obviouly only the english dictionary)
I just copied the missing files (here for Italian) from a clean installation that I did on an external disk.
e.g. copy
/Volumes/myexternalDisk/System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Reso urces/Italian.lproj
to
/System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Resources/Italian.lproj
reboot made then my spelling checker work again (for Italian)
I am just wondering if there is an easier way to do this especially if you don't have a "spare" installation?
Message was edited by: manfred kohl

You can do a custom install of some features from the installer disk rather than a full install. You can also use the Pacifist utility to open up the installer disk and select individual items, kind of like you did with the spare install but without having to go that far.

Captivate 5 English-to-Foreign-Language Font Errors

I am working with a large client who has experienced translation errors in Captivate 4 transfers to Captivate 5. The font they've used didn't translate into Chinese, and when the course was updating to Cap 5, everything basically broke.
My inquiry is about which Captivate fonts can translate into the top 15 foreign languages most widely used in BOTH Captivate 4 and Cap 5? Has anyone done any research into this area? Does anyone knows which fonts DO and DON'T translate fully given all the necessary symbols and characters in both versions?
Thanks for your help!
Steve

Hi Steve,
Welcome to captivate forum.
I did not get the scenario exactly.
Are you facing the issues with the text caption font, when captivate 4 project created in english version tried to open in captivate 5 chinese version?
Is it with the font type or caption text?
Regards,
Vikranth.

Master's w/black text box and foreign language

How do I edit the text box in a master, its black, i want something like a grey background. Why is the default text a foreign language... Is there a way to change the border or page colors. Its currently white, can I do something like grey

Are you trying to create a photobook?
The backgrounds of the text fields are defined by the theme. You have to find a theme with a color you like. You can only switch between the default color and transparent. If I want a different background I add a picture with constant color and add a textfield with transparent background on top.
The foreign language is a kind of latin. It is this way to help you to easily recognize that you need to enter your own text instead of the default text.
What you can change in a theme, widely depends on the theme you selected. To modify the elements, click "Edit Layout".
Then click the "fan"-button to select a background.
If you want more control over the themes, you need to manually edit the theme files in the Library.

Foreign Language Spell Check with Mail

I understand that using Pages, one can set different languages for Spell Check, but I seem unable to do this when writing e-mail messages. Is it possible to type an e-mail in a foreign language, and set Mail or is it elsewhere - to have spell-check not underline every foreign word in red - but to actually correct real spelling errors in the selected language - other then English? And can I then I toggle back and forth between spell-check in various languages, as my correspondences take place in a number of languages?
Thanks in advance,
john

Actually, any application that uses the basic text editing features of the OS will use the same spelling system. Pages seems to have its own spelling system that actually looks inferior (at least in my '08 version).
what if I am looking for Hungarian - a language not listed in the pop-up section.
You are going to have to do some research. There are a couple of options listed here: http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/AddingAdditionalDictionaries
I have no idea if they will work.
A Google search suggests that Snow Leopard does have a Hungarian spell-check - but the question is - where?
I don't think so. The link above indicates that you may be able to add dictionaries, including one for Hungarian. The screenshots were old, so I'm not sure if it still works. It's all in Hungarian so that's all I can tell from the site.
And can it be used with Mail?
Yes. Once you get it installed into the OS spelling system, it will be available throughout the OS - except for those applications that have their own system.
