The Processing Option Translation Process

Processing options (POs) enable users to control how an interactive or batch application manages data. Users select processing options to configure the way that applications and reports look and function. Within Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software, users work with forms to access, view, and enter information. These forms are made up of many items, such as radio buttons, text fields, check boxes, and data dictionary-based items.

To users, processing options appear as tabbed forms containing fields. Users use these objects by entering information into these fields, selecting options from these drop-down menus, clicking buttons, and so on.

When users place their cursor over the tab name, a definition of the tab appears. You must translate both the tab name and its definition. In Processing Option Text Translation, the tab name appears followed by each object that appears on a tab. Use the PO Translation Tool to translate items from the source language into the target language.

You translate all processing options using the Processing Options Translation Tool. In addition to translating items, you can retrieve and use existing translations, use spell check, change the status of an item, save translated items, and view glossary definitions.

Because processing options are written in paragraph form and can contain hundreds of lines of information, they are typically one of the most time-consuming components to translate.
