The ETL process extracts translation records from the source system that correspond to the languages installed in the data warehouse. If a record cannot be found in the source system that corresponds to a language that has been installed in the data warehouse, a pseudo-translated record will be generated. Without a pseudo-translated record, a user that logs in with the missing language as their preferred language will not see any records.
A pseudo-translated record is generated by copying the translation record that corresponds to the data warehouse Base language and flagging it with the missing record's language by populating the LANGUAGE_CODE column with the language value. SRC_LANGUAGE_CODE stores the language from which the pseudo-translated record was generated; this will always match the data warehouse Base language.
In the future, if a translation record is created in the source system, it will be extracted and the pseudo-translated record will be overwritten to reflect the actual translated value. The table provides an example in which "US" is the data warehouse Base language, and "IT" and "SP" are the Installed languages. The source system only had translated records for "US" and "IT" but did not have a translated record for "SP". The "US" and "IT" records are extracted and loaded into the data warehouse. Because there is no translation record in the source system for the "SP" language, a pseudo-translated record is generated by copying the "US" record and flagging LANGUAGE_CODE as if it were an "SP" record. The pseudo-translated record can be identified because SRC_LANGUAGE_CODE is different from LANGUAGE_CODE, matching the Base Language.
