Adding New Languages to the Sales Application

The Language menu for the Sales application is in the General tab in the Setting User Preferences window. U. S. English (enu) is available by default in the Sales application. Only the English (enu) option contains the complete set of available strings.

The following procedure adds Spanish (spa) as a language option in the user preferences settings in the Sales application to display the Spanish file that you created in Translating Strings.

To add a new language to the Sales application

1. Using Oracle JDeveloper or a text editor, open the preferencedata.xml file located, for example, in the following directory:

   appcfg_sync\src\config

2. Find the <languages> node, and add the following code under the node:

   <language><language code></language>

   In this example, Spanish is added to the Sales application:

   <language><spa></language>

3. Save the file.
4. Build the Sales application.
