Globalization Support

Oracle SES provides localization support for source documents, metadata translation, and user queries. You can specify this information in the configuration of administration objects.

Product Languages

Oracle SES user interface components are translated into the languages listed in Table 2-2. The locale of the Oracle SES host system sets the default language for error messages, as well as the Administration GUI and the Search Application. In the Web services interface, you can set the language for error messages in individual operations.
