12 Internationalization

Internationalization is the process of creating software that can be translated easily. Changes to the code are not specific to any particular market.

The Oracle Retail Brand Compliance Management Cloud Service modules have been internationalized to support multiple languages.

Translation

Translation is the process of interpreting and adapting text from one language into another. Although the code itself is not translated, components of the module that are translated may include the following, among others:

• Graphical user interface (GUI)

• Error messages

The following components are not translated:

• Documentation (online help, release notes, installation guide, user guide, operations guide)

• Batch programs and messages

• Log files

• Configuration tools

• Demonstration data

• Training materials

The user interface for the Oracle Retail Brand Compliance Management Cloud Service modules have been translated into the following languages:

• Chinese-Simplified

There is a provision for some specific overrides to the base language (English (British)) for English (American) and English (Australia and New Zealand). Any number of additional languages can be configured as required in a portal, subject to the client supplying the necessary translations. The translations apply to system text (User Interface field labels, buttons, menu options, error messages, and so on) plus glossary pick-list entries.
