Translation

Allocation supports operating the user interface in 19 languages, including English. As part of the install options for Merchandising, you'll designate one language as "primary", which also applies for Allocation. This primary language is what is loaded as a default for all screen labels and error messages in Allocation at the time of installation. By default, only the primary language you indicated at installation is loaded, but if you wish to have more languages loaded, then you can request to have the language strings loaded for these languages as well.

Supported Languages

  • Arabic

  • Chinese (Simplified)

  • Chinese (traditional)

  • Croatian

  • French

  • German

  • Greek

  • Hungarian

  • Italian

  • Japanese

  • Korean

  • Polish

  • Portuguese

  • Russian

  • Spanish

  • Swedish

  • Turkish

This means that all screen labels, error messages, and menu options are supported out of the box in these languages and users are able to select from these languages as their preferred language.


Note:

Data translation is not supported for any Allocation owned entities.

Translate Labels and Seeded Data

If you would like to modify the translations for labels and error messages, or add translations for other languagesFoot 1  that are not included in the list above, then this can be done by updating the resource bundles, which contain the screen labels, menus, and messages. For details on how to make updates to resource bundles see the Resource Bundles section in the Oracle Retail Merchandising Customization and Extension Guide.

Configure User Language

Users can choose their preferred language to have the user interface displayed as part of setting up their user preferences. As noted above, the values loaded in the base table of an entity are always maintained in the primary language. And as such all users, irrespective of their configured language, will see the primary language in the screens where an entity is created and maintained, and translations (including their preferred language) are shown in separate translation screens. However, if that same screen is accessed in view mode the description will be shown in their preferred language. Similarly, if viewing the entity in another UI - for example, viewing the item description in the purchase order details screen - the description will be shown in their preferred language.
