Translating Messages Used Internally by Application Express

Previous

Next

Oracle Application Express is translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. If your application uses a language that is not among the ten languages into which Oracle Application Express is translated, you need to translate messages displayed by the Application Express reporting engine.

For example, if you develop a Russian application and want to include report messages, such as pagination, in Russian, you need to translate the strings used in messages displayed in reports.

To translate messages:

1. Navigate to the Translate Application page:

   1. On the Workspace home page, click the Application Builder icon.

   2. Select an application.

   3. Click Shared Components.

   4. Under Globalization, click Text Messages.

2. On the Translate Messages page, click Create.

3. On Identify Text Message, specify the following:

   1. Name - Enter the name of each message that needs to be translated. See Table: Internal Messages Requiring Translation.

   2. Language - Select the language for which the message would be used.

   3. Text - Enter the text to be returned when the text message is called. If the English text message contains positional substitution values (for example, %0, %1), ensure that your defined message also contains the same named and number of positional substitution values.

4. Click Create.

Table: Internal Messages Requiring Translation lists the internal messages that require translation.
