If your Oracle E-Business Suite environment supports multiple languages and you set your mobile device language to a language that is supported by Oracle E-Business Suite, but not by Oracle E-Business Suite mobile apps, then the data retrieved from the Oracle E-Business Suite server will be displayed in the mobile device specified language. However, the user interface labels within the app will appear in English.
If you set your mobile device language to a language that is neither supported by Oracle E-Business Suite nor enabled in your Oracle E-Business Suite environment, then the data coming from the Oracle E-Business Suite server will be displayed in the Oracle E-Business Suite base language.
If you want your Oracle Access Manager (OAM) login page to be displayed in one of the supported languages for the mobile apps, perform the following tasks to configure OAM for the supported languages:
Note: Before you begin the configuration, ensure that you understand how OAM handles the languages in the login page, and then properly configure the default language which is used, if OAM cannot determine the device language. See: Selecting a Language for Oracle Access Management Login, Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Management.
Log on to the OAM server.
Navigate to the OAM domain, such as </base_dir>/Middleware/user_projects/domains/oam_domain/
.
Back up the original oam-config.xml
file.
Edit the oam-config.xml
file.
Search for "LoginPageLocales". Navigate to the end of setting definition to find the last language code entry.
Copy the last language code entry.
Change the languages to the corresponding language codes listed in the following table and increase the number by 1.
