Web Dynpro iView Translation

Question

Hi Everyone,
We have a requirement at my client to deliver the portal in two languages (Chinese and English). When I change the language of the user from English to Chinese (China) the portal content langauge changes (TLN, Masthead etc. are displayed in Chinese), however when I navigate to any Web Dynpro iViews e.g. Bank Information (ESS iView), I still see everything in English. I have checked my Web Dynpro Content Admin and both zh_CN, zh_HK are available.
My Second question is if I add some verbiage to this iView via WDP Personalization (Ctrl + right click), can this verbiage also be translated? If so, how?
Thanks for all your help!
