19 Internationalization

Internationalization is the process of creating software that can be translated more easily. Changes to the code are not specific to any particular market.

Oracle Retail applications have been internationalized to support multiple languages.

Translation

Translation is the process of interpreting and adapting text from one language into another. Although the code itself is not translated, components of the application that are translated include the following:

• Graphical user interface (GUI)

• Error messages

The following components are not translated:

• Batch programs and messages

• Training materials

The user interface has been translated into the following languages:

• Chinese (Simplified)

• Chinese (Traditional)

• Croatian

• Dutch

• French

• German

• Greek

• Hungarian

• Italian

• Japanese

• Korean

• Polish

Custom AIP Strings

The following custom AIP strings are translated into the available languages for display through the RPAS Client:

• Hierarchy labels

• Dimension labels

• Workbook Template Group Labels

• Workbook Template Labels

• Measure Labels

• Workbook Messages and Warnings

All of the above translated strings, for each available language, are loaded into the AIP-RPAS domain during the AIP-RPAS domain build process.

All translated strings, for each available language, are deployed by default for Data Management Online and Order Management.

Note: For information about adding languages for the first time or for translation information in general, including changing the displayed language displayed by the RPAS Client and configuring the base RPAS translations, see the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Administration Guide for the RPAS Classic Client – Volume 1.
