YouTube Search in non-English

Does any one know if there is a way to input non-English in the YouTube Search?

If that's the case then a feedback report should be sent directly to Apple on this problem. It's a serious shortcoming in the Apple TV software if the language setting doesn't provide the correct input method for that language.

Youtube issue - search with non-english letters

The issue appeared after the recent software update, worked correctly in the previous one.
When searching youtube with non-english letters (through iphone remote app), it assumes every letter to be an "enter" and reports a problem connecting to youtube.
Even when I try using the "recent searches", it will report the same problem for non-english items.

you need to report it to apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html

JSF, encoding, do not working search with non english words!

All my pages UTF-8, Database charset set UTF-8, My search with russian words does not working, How can I improve it?

Update: It seems to be related to the themeLinks in the JSP. I got it working for a second by adding in a missing themelinks link... but it's not working anymore. Huh.
Ideas?

Bing based federated result sources not returning any results for non-English languages

I have a result source with this query:
http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms} language:fr site:msdn.microsoft.com&format=rss&count=50&first={startIndex}
This used to give me 40-50 results for common terms like download, blog etc.
From today (7/14) IST, this source does not return any results. There are no results if I execute this query directly in IE either.
Same behavior observed for: language:es, language:de etc.
I do however get results as expected for language:en.
Any idea what the issue might be?

Hi Swapnil,
According to your description, my understanding is that no results returned when searching with non-English in the Result Source query.
I tested the same scenario per your post and I got the same results as you got.
I recommend to change the language:fr in the Result Source query to be lang=fr to see if the issue still occurs.

Lack of World or Non-English language films and search filter in Australia

iTunes Australia doesn't have a search set up for World or Non-English language films in Australia whereas it does in US. Please fix and please also include more titles - very limited to the point of embarrassing Apple...

We are fellow users here on these forums, if you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
In terms of the films that are available there, Apple can only sell the films that the studios/rights-holders have granted them licenses to sell there. You can try requesting that films be added, but unless the studios agree to it then Apple won't be able to add them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Search for description containing non-English chars -- ?

Hello!
I've implemented a search class, which allows customers to search folders/documents by name, owner, description, etc.
And here's the problem: if description contains non-English (Russian, in my case) characters, search does not work! Everything (AS infrastructure, CM SDK DB, etc) was installed using UTF-8 Unicode charset. When I debug the code, I see that when I build AttributeQualification and later compose a comples SearchQualification, value in these is correct, but when I call getSQL(), I see string like this:
... ( nls_upper(ALIASDOCUMENT.DESCRIPTION) LIKE nls_upper('????') ) ...
So it seems as if SQL converted passed UNICODE value into ANSI string, and since server's system language is English, my Russian letters were lost -- ?
Can anybody shed some light here? Is there a way to search for UNICODE descriptions (and content, for that matter)?
Thanks,
Sasha.

Hi Sasha,
I want you to try the following code. It should output the file description and query to a text file. Use internet explorer / or notepad to open this file and ****specify that the file encoding is UTF8.*****
thanks,

Search songs using non-english alphabet

Hello all,
is there a way to search for songs in non-english languages using my iPod nano?
I use greek for titles, artists etc and I'd like to be able to search using greek!
Thank you in advance

After first getting your nano did you select the language to be greek. If not set your nano back to factory settings.... saving your music beforehand on itunes.And this will get the nano back to a language us can use for viewing stuff on the nano.
Here are the languages that the nano supports;
Languages
Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish
Additional language support for display of song, album, and artist information: Bulgarian, Croatian, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Ukrainian
Greek is mentioned but it is not listed for support in the display of song, album,and artist information. Though you probably went into each field and translated into greek the best you could right?
Lol Id like to see what the band name " A Flock of Seagulls" is translated
I would try setting the main language of the nano to greek and see if you can search using the native language that way. If not then I think your out of luck.

Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved

We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
You help and insights are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Han Shen

LDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

How to retrieve non-english characters from a query

Hello,
My apologies if this post is not in its proper place, but I was a bit confused where to add it.
I'm running a query using SQL Developer on a table which contains several companies names from many different countries, and one of the checks I need to make to ensure data consistency is to search for all rows which the name of company contains special or non-english characters (like ç, ã, ä as example).
I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to collate using NLS_SORT but it didn't work.
Is there someway to select only the rows that contain these special or non-english characters, excluding from the results the rows that only have english characters? Please have in mind that we have many languages in this table.
The field I would like to make the conditions on is VARCHAR2.
Please let me know if there is any extra information I should provide you so that you can help me.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Luís

Import filter for Pagemaker does not support non-english charcters in references

Hi all,
we found that when importing from Pagemaker, all referenced images that contain non-english charcters (such as German umlauts) in their file names are lost. Apart from this, the direct import works quite well for us, therefore we would like to use this workflow if we can find a solution for the lost images. In some chapters, 95% of the images are imported correctly, in others almost all are lost.
Is there anything we can do about this? If we rename the images (exchange problematic characters by fixed string), is it possible to correct the references in PM with some sort of search&replace function? These are really a lot of images, so doing it manually would be a bad option.

I found out how to do it.
For the benefit of others who might encounter this or similar filename issues, it would be nice to know the root cause.
On what operating system (and when) were the filename originally created?
(and what version of PM was used)
On what OS, and with what version of FM are you trying to import the PM file?
I presume that there is no issue with the filenames per se under the OS, but just during FM import?
My guess would be that PM is using some legacy encoding for references to file names that include extended latin characters, and that encoding does not translate at FM import.

Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
Tom

Hi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex   Dec
ř 159   345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

Does querybuilder support non-english character?

I want to make query using querybuilder with non-english character (Chinese)?
I tried with http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html but it is not working.
below is my query string:
property=contenttext
property.value=你好嗎
I have converted the chinese character (你好嗎)to unicode.
Can anyone help me?

That's a bug in the debugger UI. But it's easy to fix:
in crxde lite, overlay /libs/cq/search/components/querydebug/querydebug.jsp by copying it to /apps/cq/search/components/querydebug/querydebug.jsp
open /apps/cq/search/components/querydebug/querydebug.jsp
find the line "props.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(queryParam.getBytes("ISO-8859-1")));"
and replace with "props.load(new StringReader(queryParam));"
Will be fixed in 5.6.1.

Replace non-english characters function

Hi folks,
I have a text which includes non english characters. Is there any trick, how can I replace those characters with "closest" english character?
Examples:
"Hytölä" to become "Hytola"
"Säynatsälo" to become "Säynatsälo"
etc ...
I was thinking about usage of REGEXP
select regexp_replace('Hytölä Säynatsälo ', '[^0-9A-Za-z]', '') from dual
but a pattern is not correct.
Any suggesitons?

There is something that smells like a hack for me (source: replace characters with accent with their base letter)
However
with data as (
select 'Hytölä' str from dual
union all
select 'Säynatsälo' from dual
select
str
,utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(nlssort(str, 'NLS_SORT=BINARY_AI')) nstr
,length(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(nlssort(str, 'NLS_SORT=BINARY_AI'))) l
from data
STR
NSTR
L
Hytölä
hytola
7
Säynatsälo
saynatsalo
11
Notice that change in length through an extra null bit at the end of the strings.
And the loss of the uppercase.
For this kind of questions it's helpful to know about the requirements. Why there shuóuld be a baseletter conversion? For search purposes for example.
not to forget the db characterset.

My Firefox cannot display non-English characters, even though I have tried every language encoding I have!

I am a big fan of Japanese songs and websites, so I was very disappointed when I saw that Firefox could not handle any non-English characters. I have tried every encoding I can, but none work and I just see boxes with numbers and letters inside. I have only just got this older laptop for my birthday - my old laptop which ran Windows Vista and had Firefox 4 had no trouble at all. Please help me!

hello muoshui, please enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''network.http.accept-encoding''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
if this does not resolve the issue already, please also go through the steps offered at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].
