How do I configure and run the Skills Library Translation agent?

Using the Skills Library Translation agent, you can translate the skills in your custom skills catalog to any language supported by the Oracle HCM application. This agent uses an external translation provider to translate the skills.

Before you start

The prerequisite for running this agent is to configure Google Translation as an external translation provider.

The HCM Application Administrator role needs to have the functional security privilege, Manage Skills Library Translation Agent (WLF_MANAGE_SKILLS_LIBRARY_TRANSLATION_AGENT), to run this agent.

A new functional security privilege, Configure External Providers for Learning and Development (WLF_CONFIGURE_EXTERNAL_PROVIDERS_FOR_LEARNING_AND_DEVELOPMENT) is granted to the HCM Application Administrator role. Using this privilege, they can access the Configure External Providers page from My Client Groups Learning and set up the translation service provider.

Here's what to do

1. Go to My Client Groups > Learning and Development. In the HCM agents section, click Skills Library Translation.
2. From the Add menu, select Skills Library Translation.
3. Enter a description and name for this process.
4. From Skill Item Catalog, select the skill catalog that you want to translate.
   Note: The Oracle Dynamic Skills Seed Library isn't available for translation.
5. Select the Google translation provider and the account name you've configured for it.
6. Select one or more languages that you want to translate the skills to.
   Note: The languages that are available for selection depend on the language packs that are installed in the Oracle HCM application.
7. Click Apply.
8. On the Learning and Development Agents page, select the process and click Run Agent.

What to do next

When the process completes, click Download and Update. This downloads a Microsoft Excel workbook where you can review the translations and make changes as necessary.

Note: Before you can review the Excel workbook, you need to download and install the Desktop Integration Installer tool from Navigator > Tools.

In the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, you’ll see that the skill title, description, and short description are translated. If the skills already have existing translations, you’ll see the old translation and the new suggested translation in the Before and Proposed columns.

If the Excel sheet has more than 5000 rows, the Excel sheet will display the first 5000 rows. After you curate and click Upload Changes on the Oracle Visual Builder tab, the next 5000 rows will be displayed for your review.
