How to Display the External Supplier Registration Pages in Different Languages

To display external supplier registration pages in different languages:

  1. Identify the installed languages.

Before you change the language for the Supplier Registration pages, find the corresponding Language Tag in the setup task Manage Languages. Choose to display only the languages installed by using the Installed drop down under the Search region. Translation can be done only for installed language packs. Note down the Language Tag value for the languages in which the pages need to be rendered.

  • Append language to the Supplier Registration URL.

Pick up the external Supplier Registration URL from the setup task Configure Procurement Business Function. Note that the setup task access is Procurement BU specific and therefore the Supplier Registration URLs are also Procurement BU specific.

The URLs are in this format:

Prospective Supplier Registration: https://<host>/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=<value>

Spend Authorized Supplier Registration:

https://<host>/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=<value>&busRel=<value>

To render the URL in the required language, append the language tag noted earlier to the end of the registration URL in the format: &lang=<Language Tag Value>

https://<host>/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=<value>&lang=<Language Tag Value>

For Example: https://<host>/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=<value>&lang=es

Note: The language tag should be given as it is and not be enclosed in quotes or brackets.

Buying organizations can append the URL with required language before sending it to potential suppliers. Alternatively, if the URLs are published in the buying organization’s website they can publish multiple URLs pointing to different languages.
