B Multi-Language Support

With the introduction of Multi-Locale Support, user interfaces can be viewed in various languages. The display language is a selection on the login screen.

In addition to the base language (American English, for example, en_US), the following languages are currently supported for Funds Transfer Pricing, by installing the associated Language Pack.

Table B-1 Languages and Java Locales

Language Name Java Locale
Arabic AR_EG
Portuguese PT_BR
French FR_FR
German DE_DE
Indonesian IN_ID
Italian IT_IT
Japanese JA_JP
Korean KO_KR
Russian RU_RU
Simplified Chinese ZH_CN
Spanish ES_ES
Thai TH_TH
Traditional Chinese ZH_TW
Vietnamese VI_VN
Turkish TR_TR
Hebrew iw_IL
French Canada fr_CA

Depending on the type of the rule, the Name/Description specified during create/edit is either attached to the login-locale or is stored independent of the login-locale. The selection of the login-locale, therefore, governs which assumption/rules are visible, and which are not visible.

The following illustrates the visibility of assumptions and rules, across languages in the 8.0 release. This applies to all summary screens, embedded selections in subsequent screens, and so on.

By default, all Dimension Management Objects, as well as Filters and Expressions, would be visible in all languages (and therefore available for embedding), regardless of the language in which they were created.

Note:

A future release (TBD) will expand visibility for many of these application object types, to provide visibility regardless of logged-in locale.

These object-types are visible across all languages because the Name and Descriptions are not stored in translation-compatible structures, which is different from the storage format for AAI objects like Dimension Management, Filters, and Expressions.
