Working with russian/cyrillic texts

i need to add some pages in russian. i'll be getting the
texts from the translator in Word and copying and pasting.
i'm guessing i need to create these pages with default
encoding cyrillic (windows), get a plugin for Word and add a
metatag to show the page as russian. but that's a stab in the dark
and i'd appreciate your help on this.
using windows xp professional(o/s is in spanish), MS office
2007(english version) and dw 8 (english version).

No Windows encoding or plugins needed. Just encode all your
pages with
UTF-8 and let your server deliver them as that. It will work
in almost
every browser.

Convert xml to fm: very slow with russian/greek text, fast with westeuropean text

Has somebody experienced a significant difference between opening a russian xml file compared to opening a file with westeuropean text?
We have german xml files, opening them in FM9 (as well in FM10) takes about 2 min. The same with finish, french, etc.
Opening the "same" file, translated into russian or greek takes about 50 min! Structure, attributes, file size are identical to the german file.
Thanks for your tipps and experiences

Michael,
thanks for your tips.
2 min is ok for us, the resulting fm document is about 400 pages long.
To have a very clean test environment, I created (in FM9) a new EDD from the DTD, and did not add any formatting rules at all. So the EDD only contains elements and attributes.
I imported the EDD into a new blank FrameMaker document.
What font is the template using? Does it have the glyphs required for Cyrillic and Greek texts?
Times New Roman. This works correct with cyr and gr documents with a size of 300 kB.
Is the EDD using references to catalog formats or does it work with Format Change Lists to create the formatting?
Currently, in my test edd, I have no formatting infos at all, only elements and attributes.
Is there some language attribute that may trigger some special formatting?
No.
Does the EDD come from pre-Unicode days and still tries to work with special Cyrillic or Greek fonts?
To avoid this, I created a new EDD from the DTD, and let it very blank, with no formatting information at all.

Has anyone been able to get a mouse scroll wheel to work with a scrolling text box in authorware?

Has anyone been able to get a scroll wheel to work with a
scrolling text box in authorware? Is there any way to attach the
hardware of a scroll wheel to a scrolling text in a piece? Sure
would make things easier for the reader.

I doubt it. Maybe using the WinCtrls.u32? But after a few
tries years
ago (before the WinCtrols.u32), I'd pretty much given up.

Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?

Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?

Still looking for help with this issue, if anyone can help with some information.
Like I said, I'm not a techno-idiot, I'm actually pretty savvy, but this really isn't my area of expertise, so I really really would appreciate some wiser minds than mine looking at this and giving me some information.
Additional information that may help: when I go to Settings > Cellular Data > View Account > ,I get a system error message; it won't let me contact to my account and gives me a number. I assume I'll have to contact Verizon regarding my account, but I'm still wondering about the LTE sim question vs just a "regular" cellular signal.
Does it even make sense what I'm asking or am I just being a complete and total idiot?
Thanks again in advance for any clarifying information.

Russian (cyrillic) text visualization in datagrid through flex-amfphp-mysq

Hi to all!!!
Here's the scenario.
I've got a mysql db with several products stored in several languages (english,french,deutsch,italian and russian). The table is stored in utf8 and through phpMyAdmin or mysql GUI client I'm able to see correctly all the products in all the language (russian included).
I've also setted up remoting through amfphp. I've got a remote php object which queries the MySQL extracting all the products related to a language. On the flex side a read the remote result and I put it in a data grid through databinding.
Everything works fine with english,french,deutsch and italian but the troubles come with russian.
In DataGrid cell, instead of the cyrillic chars, are displayed many "??????".
I've tried to elaborate the result of the query changing the string data with this php function mb_convert_encoding($row->describtion,'UTF-8','Windows-1251') but the text displayed remains the same.
I've also tried with utf8_encode / utf8_decode.
Is there anyone who already faced this issue?
Am i doing something wrong on php side? Am I missing something on flex side?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks in advance!
Luke

If you make a call to drupal, through the Actionscript Remote
Object - you have to assign it a "return" function. If you put a
breakpoint in that return function and run it you can see what the
data looks like coming out of drupal. It's usually in an Object
variable with all the properties setup to your return types.
We've had great success parsing these objects directly from
Drupal in our actionscript code.

Working with Multi-column text in Illustrator CS6 - highly irritating! How do I do the following ...

Hi ...
I'm finding working with multi column\row text box ("table") in Illustrator CS6 really irritating and non-intuitive. Maybe just my ignorance but I can't find simple ways to do the following:
1. Click in a different cell of the "table" to the one currently active. Cursor does not move to new cell. How do I move focus to a different cell?
2. Begin entering text in an empty table - I can't get the cursor to appear, despite clicking inside cell area, on text box border etc.
Is there any simple way to perform these basic, simple tasks?
Thanks
Richard

In my quick test I was able to enter the text by beginning at the upper left of the box and clicking. When I entered the text it appeared in the first box. Then I was able to tab through to the other boxes.

Russian Cyrillic Text to N95

Does anyone know how it is possible for my N95 purchased in UK to be able to write SMS, emails, ect in Russian Cyrillic. I noticed N95s purchased in Ukraine and Russia were able to do this. Maybe I need a Russian Firmware Update? If anyone knows how I can do this I would most grateful. Adrian
Adrian Smith

you can update your firmware using the Nokia Software Updater, as for getting the Russian Text, search the internet how to do it, i think it is not allowed to discuss that in this forum... but there is a way...

Javascript not working with 'Display as Text (does not saves state)'

Hi,
We have these following items in P3 of our application,
P3_EDIT_ACCOUNT Display as Text (saves state)
P3_USEFUL_LINKS Display as Text (saves state)
P3_LAST_APPROVED Display as Text (saves state)
P3_ARCHIVES Display as Text (saves state)
And we are initializing these items in a pl/sql process under 'Page Rendering'
For example,
:P3_ARCHIVES := '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> ';
When our environment was upgraded from HTMLDB1.5 to HTMLDB2.0,
instead of displaying the proper value of :P3_ARCHIVES,
it was displaying the tags,
i.e. instead of displaying 'Archives', it was displaying the whole
'<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> '
So, when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)' and it was working.
But then we have another problem,
We render the rest of the same page with another pl/sql block,
Here is a portion from that pl/sql for your reference,
htp.p('
<script>
//Script to check the status change.
//The script source is rendered through PL/SQL.
function checkStatus()
var promptStr = someString;
if(ans.toUpperCase() == "AMBER" || ans.toUpperCase() == "RED")
          var cnfm = confirm(promptStr);
          if(cnfm)
          do something....
</script>
htp.print('
<td width="5%" bgcolor="#ebebc5" height="19" align="middle" >
<input TYPE="radio" name="'||l_g_fnumber||'" value="GREEN"');
IF l_allow_update THEN
     htp.print(' onClick="checkStatus()"');
ELSE
htp.print(' disabled onmousedown="return false;"');
                    do something....
Now the issue is , when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)', the checkStatus() function is not getting called in the onClick
event of the radio button and hence the confirm window for the call to
confirm(promptStr) is not coming up.
But if we revert back the items to 'Display as Text (saves state)',
the checkStatus() javascript function is getting called properly but html tags are displayed against the items instead of the proper value (as mentioned in ********)
Please do let us know a possible solution to this issue.
Thanks & Regards-
Rupak

Thanks Varad for your response.
This is the error i am getting.
1 error has occurred
PLSQL anonymous block source type can be used ONLY with Display Text (based on PLSQL) item type.
yes i am using in the source..
I also tried with the PL/SQL Expression of FUNCTION in this case it is executing the query but once i run the page ora- 06550 error occured.
Thanks

Working with UTF-8 text files as if they were ANSI?

I have a text file saved in UTF-8, containing several characters from different languages. It's created in Notepad.
I want to read that file into my Java application, which before only was used with regular ANSI .txt files.
When showing the contents of the file on the screen (Swing GUI), the text is totally distorted. The application obviously doesn't understand from the beginning that the text file is encoded with UTF-8.
Somehow I must convert the information in the file so that
1) I can process the UTF-8 text in all String functions as if it were common ANSI text, and
2) I can show the contents of those Strings on the screen in my Java application, and making it look like it should, whether it's English or Russian.
Does anyone here have any tips or code samples that I can use?
Thanks

That is kind of what I'm trying to find out, how to read the file...
When I read a text file that is saved as UTF-8, the letters don't show properly on the screen. Instead of, for example, a Pi symbol I would get a ?� or something.
Though if I hardcode a String object that contains "\u0030" or a similar Unicode character, it shows properly.
How do you read in the file???
When you read in the file, you have to take the
encoding into account.
Take a look at InputStreamReader. This class allows
you to specify the character encoding you will use.

Has anyone worked with the fire text from Thirdmenson?

I have bought this product from him and have been just destroyed trying to use it.
There are literally no instructions with the purchase and I am weak with AE.
Here is the link to his product.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B5nWpYi2-Y&feature=fvst
Am really hoping there is someone here that has worked on this before or can guide me on how to change my text.
Thanks, Mike

Yeah, unfortunately I am coming to the same conclusion.
This is the entire response I received for "instructions"
There are two projects: "fire_text_project" and "fire_text_project_plugin". The first once does not require any plugin because one particle effect is pre-rendred. If you have trapcode particular then you can use the second project and modify it.
Finally you can create a realistic fire text in after effects!
It took me a week to do the 3d fire simulation and render out all the 26 letters on fire. This is a very realistic fire thats simulated using advanced 3d software. The video is 621 x 720 px and it is 7 seconds long. All the letters has the color video and the black and white (alpha) video. You can use the alpha matte to create a tranpsarent background for the colored video. That's is how it is done in the two example comps included in the project. You will have to understand that the letters are video so it is not as easy as typing the letters using text tool to edit the text. Open the "1st text Example comp 1" comp and it has marker that explains in detail on how to edit it.
The two included comps are "Example_comp 1" and "Example_comp 2". These are great examples of what you can do with fire text but the possiblity is endless.You can create many interesting comps with these text on fire. Just to let you know the text that is rendered in 3d app is Arial Black.
Think I am going to have no choice but to simply cancel the sale and look for something else.
Thanks for all the input.
Mike

Word report with Cyrillic text

Hi all,
I've never used one of these forums before so hope I'm doing right.
I need to produce a word report with Russian & English text , if I set the system language to Russian I can type Russian characters in to word, but if I have a string constant in labview which I insert into a table in word the text from string constant changes.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Hi Mike
Thanks for the reply.
The document that I will be working on hasn't been translated yet, so I took the string constant from UM_confirm Exit.vi http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/24D845629A22AB6A86257473005ECF35?OpenDocument and wrote a small vi (see attachment) to see if I could put the Russian string constant into a table in word I separated the Russian & English strings and entered them into different cells in a word table. The Russian characters no longer look like Russian characters (see attachment 2). If I set the system language to Russian on the language bar I can Type Russian characters into word.
Regards
John B

LineBreakMeasurer with anti-aliased text

Hello,
I am developing an application, which needs to render anti-aliased text. The application uses LineBreakMeasurer for text layout. Without anti-aliasing, LineBreakMeasurer works perfectly. However, when I turn anti-aliasing on, the text lines returned by LineBreakMeasurer.nextLayout() are too long (that is, longer than the specified wrapping width).
For example, if I call
TextLayout layout = measurer.nextLayout(92.0);
then
layout.getAdvance()
might return 101.0.
Has anybody been able to make LineBreakMeasurer to work with anti-aliased text?
Thanks,

Adobe Form - Problem with Cyrillic texts on zebra printers (ZPL)

Hello,
we have problems with an adobe form. We try to print this adobe form on a zebra printer with the device type "AZPL203". In this adobe form we have to print the material description in german and russian language.
When we print out the adobe form on a normal printer (e.g. HP) everything is fine. But when we print the form on a zebra printer, the russian textwill not be printed on the label. In the print preview of the form, we will see the correct russian text.
So can anybody help me?
Did anybody print cyrillic text on a zebra printer?
Thanks in advance.
Marc.

Good afternoon,
First.. I apologize because I know this is the wrong thread. But the folks in this thread apparently have the missing piece of info that I/we desperately need.. Could you please help me to understand what I'm missing, or at least point me to a forum with the answer?
We have a few tags that print to a Zebra Z105SL printer via Smartforms. But due to recent design changes in the tags, and a desire to stay up with current technology, we/I would like to design the new tags in Adobe PDF-forms. The design is not a problem, but we cannot get SAP and the Zebra printer to make nice and print anything. For now, I've created a simple tag with a text field and a couple of bar codes on it, just to test and prove that the Zebra will print a PDF. We are using PDF-forms for several of our business forms, so everything works, but the Zebra just won't print a PDF. I don't know what I'm missing.. I know it's possible, but I can't figure out the "how" part. Could you please let me know how you did it?
Many thanks!
Bill
