Language Pack Setup (Optional)
English (with the locale en-US) is provided as the default language by the system and all system metadata is delivered with English descriptions and labels. The system provides support for defining other languages and supports multiple languages in a single environment.
System users can use the system in their preferred language, as long as a translation into that language has been provided. A user sees the system in the language defined on their user record. If enabled, users can use the Switch Language zone to switch to another supported language real time.
Available Languages with Cloud Services

Setup Instructions
Use the following procedure to set up a language an Oracle Utilities cloud service.
1. Define the Language Code for the language to be added and indicate that it is enabled. For details on this procedure, see Defining Languages in the Administrative User Guide.
Note: Please use 'ARA', 'PTB', or 'ESA', as the Language Code for Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, or Latin American Spanish, respectively, when defining language codes for those languages.
3. Run the "F1-LANG" batch control.
• This process copies descriptions of all language-enabled tables from an existing translation (e.g., English). The copied values act as placeholders while the strings are translated into the new language. It is necessary to do this as a first step in order to create records using the new language code created in the previous step.
• The batch process also updates the new language rows with the translated metadata descriptions from the language pack, if installed.
Note: The language pack updates all language entries for base owned system data. If your implementation updates base owned labels and descriptions after applying a language pack, they will be overwritten the next time an updated language pack is applied. Note that most user facing labels and messages support defining an Override Label or Override Description. This information is not updated by the base product and should be utilized if your implementation desires a specific label or description.
