Understanding Translation Installation

Oracle provides translations of the user interface and key application data for PeopleSoft application products.

Typically, you would install these translations when you first install your database. However, if you did not install the Oracle-provided translations during your initial install, this section describes the steps to follow to add translations to an already-existing database.

The database translations are delivered in a Data Mover file with the format xxyyya.db, where xx is the product code, and yyy is the language code, for instance, hcfraa.db. The location of the .db file will typically be in PS_APP_HOME\data, and can also be found in pi_home\xxx\ComPlat\DBFILE\bse\data, where xxx is the language code.

Note:

The size impact on the database of installing translations is difficult to predict exactly, but a general rule of thumb is approximately 5% per language.
