Translations

Retail Fiscal Management supports operating the user interface in 19 languages, including English. As part of the setup of Merchandising Services, one language was designated as "primary". This primary language is how labels and data are displayed by default to users, what is held in the base tables for data entities, and what is used in the integration with other systems. The primary language is loaded as a default for all screen labels, error messages, and seeded data in Retail Fiscal Management at the time of installation. By default, only the primary language you indicated at installation is loaded in Retail Fiscal Management. If you wish to have more languages loaded, you can request the language strings be loaded for those languages as well.

In addition to English, the supported languages in the user interface for Retail Fiscal Management include:

  • Arabic

  •  Chinese (Simplified)

  •  Chinese (Traditional)

  •  Croatian

  •  Dutch

  •  French

  •  German

  •  Greek

  •  Hungarian

  •  Italian

  •  Japanese

  •  Korean

  •  Polish

  •  Portuguese

  • Portuguese (Brazil)

  •  Russian

  •  Spanish

  •  Swedish

  •  Turkish

All screen labels, error messages, and menu options are supported out of the box in these languages and users can select from these languages as their preferred language. Data translation is also supported to allow data that you create as part of your implementation, such as user-defined fiscal attributes and lists of values, to be viewed in the preferred languages of your users as well.

Translate Labels and Seeded Data

If you would like to modify the translations for labels and error messages or add translations for other languagesFoot 1 that are not included in the list above, you can leverage the Resource Bundle feature for RFM in Retail Home.

Resource Bundles

Screen labels and other UI-related data that may require updates/additions for Merchandising are managed in resource bundles. For details on how to make updates to resource bundles see the "Resource Bundles" section of the Oracle Retail Home Administration Guide.

Configure User Language

Retail Fiscal Management displays the screens and data based on the primary language, but users can choose their preferred language to have the user interface displayed as part of setting up their user preferences. As noted above, the values loaded in the base table of an entity are always maintained in the primary language.
