Setting Up and Using the Supported Languages

Overview

Supported Languages

From Oracle E-Business Suite Mobile Release 4.0 to Mobile Release 9.1, Oracle E-Business Suite mobile apps are available in the following languages only, although other languages are listed in the app stores, such as Apple App Store:

Note: The initial releases of our mobile apps were distributed in English only.

Additionally, Oracle Mobile Maintenance for Oracle E-Business Suite app version 1.7.4 and onwards is available in Russian. See Oracle Mobile Maintenance for Oracle E-Business Suite Release Notes, My Oracle Support Document 1923702.1.

For Oracle E-Business Suite Mobile Release 10.x:

Mobile Device Locale Settings

To use these languages, set your mobile device locale to a desired language setting.

The following table lists the iOS mobile device locale settings:

Note: For iOS mobile devices, set the same language for the iOS language and the preferred language. Using different languages for the iOS language and the preferred language could result in mixture of these languages in the UI pages where UI labels are shown in the language set for the iOS language, but the language data from Oracle E-Business Suite is shown in the preferred language.

iOS Mobile Device Locale Settings
Language iOS Language iOS Region
Brazilian Portuguese Portuguese (Brazil) Brazil
Canadian French French (Canada) Canada
Dutch Dutch *
English English *
French French *
German German *
Italian Italian *
Japanese Japanese *
Latin American Spanish Spanish (Mexico) *
Simplified Chinese Chinese, Simplified China
Spanish Spanish Spain

Note: An asterisk (*) indicates you can set the language for any country or region except for the region or country used by its variant language. For example, you can set the language French for France or Switzerland or any other country except Canada, because Canada uses Canadian French.

The following table lists the Android mobile device locale settings:

Android Mobile Device Locale Settings
Language Android Language Android Region
Brazilian Portuguese Portuguese (Brazil) N/A
Canadian French French (Canada) N/A
Dutch Dutch (*) N/A
English English (*) N/A
French French (*) N/A
German German (*) N/A
Italian Italian (*) N/A
Japanese Japanese N/A
Latin American Spanish Spanish (United States) N/A
Simplified Chinese Chinese (Simplified) N/A

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.

Oracle Access Manager Language Configuration

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.

  1. Log on to the OAM server.

  2. Navigate to the OAM domain, such as </base_dir>/Middleware/user_projects/domains/oam_domain/.

  3. Back up the original oam-config.xml file.

  4. Edit the oam-config.xml file.

    1. Search for "LoginPageLocales". Navigate to the end of setting definition to find the last language code entry.

    2. 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.

      Language Language Code
      Brazilian Portuguese pt-BR
      Canadian French fr-CA
      Dutch nl-NL, nl-BE
      English en-US, en-AU, en-CA, en-IN, en-IE, en-NZ, en-SG, en-ZA, en-GB
      French fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CH
      German de-DE, de-LI, de-AT, de-CH
      Italian it-IT, it-CH
      Japanese ja-JP
      Latin American Spanish es-US, es-XL
      Simplified Chinese zh-CN
      Spanish es-ES

    3. Repeat the previous step 2 for the all languages you plan to use. For example,

      <Setting Name="27" Type="xsd:string">fr-CA</Setting>
<Setting Name="28" Type="xsd:string">fr-FR</Setting>
<Setting Name="29" Type="xsd:string">fr-BE</Setting>
<Setting Name="30" Type="xsd:string">fr-CH</Setting>
<Setting Name="31" Type="xsd:string">nl-NL</Setting>
<Setting Name="32" Type="xsd:string">nl-BE</Setting>
<Setting Name="33" Type="xsd:string">de-DE</Setting>
<Setting Name="34" Type="xsd:string">de-LI</Setting>
<Setting Name="35" Type="xsd:string">de-AT</Setting>
<Setting Name="36" Type="xsd:string">de-CH</Setting>
<Setting Name="37" Type="xsd:string">en-AU</Setting>
<Setting Name="38" Type="xsd:string">en-CA</Setting>
<Setting Name="39" Type="xsd:string">en-IN</Setting>
<Setting Name="40" Type="xsd:string">en-IE</Setting>
<Setting Name="41" Type="xsd:string">en-NZ</Setting>
<Setting Name="42" Type="xsd:string">en-SG</Setting>
<Setting Name="43" Type="xsd:string">en-ZA</Setting>
<Setting Name="44" Type="xsd:string">en-GB</Setting>
<Setting Name="45" Type="xsd:string">en-US</Setting>
<Setting Name="46" Type="xsd:string">ja-JP</Setting>
<Setting Name="47" Type="xsd:string">it-IT</Setting>
<Setting Name="48" Type="xsd:string">it-CH</Setting>
<Setting Name="49" Type="xsd:string">es-US</Setting>
<Setting Name="50" Type="xsd:string">es-XL</Setting>
<Setting Name="51" Type="xsd:string">es-ES</Setting>

  5. Stop and restart the OAM server.
