What Can I Translate in Publisher?
You can translate reports and objects in the catalog in Publisher, as described in these sections:
Can I Translate Objects in the Catalog?
Yes, you can translate objects in the catalog. You can extract the translatable strings from all objects contained in a selected folder in the catalog into a separate file.
If Publisher is integrated with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Publisher catalog translation (folder and report, data model, style template and sub template names) is ignored. The Oracle BI Enterprise Edition catalog translation mechanism is applied instead.
You can translate the separate string file, upload the translated file back to the system, and assign it the appropriate language code. When you extract the strings from the report layouts, you also extract the user-interface strings that are displayed such as descriptions of catalog objects and names of report parameters and data displays.
Users viewing the catalog see the item translations that are appropriate for the user interface language that they selected in their My Account preferences. Users see report translations that are appropriate for the Report Locale that they selected in their My Account preferences.
Can I Translate Templates?
Yes, you can translate templates by extracting the translatable strings from a single RTF-based template (including sub templates and style templates) or a single Publisher layout template (.xpt) file.
Translate a template when you need only the final report documents translated. For example, you must generate translated invoices to send to German and Japanese customers.
