Bug? #COLUMN_WIDTH# is missing in translated application

Hi,
I have two language application in apex 4.0.2.06 on Oracle XE.
To set a fixed column width in classic report I use "Fixed Column Headers" template from "Builder Blue" theme with #COLUMN_WIDTH# substitution string.
For primary language application everything works as expected: columns have fixed width.
But it does not works for translated application (after seed/publish translation process).
Columns and their headers are messed.
After comparing HTML sources of generated pages in primary and translated applications I found that
1) In the primary app #COLUMN_WIDTH# replaced with "style="width:XXXpx"
2) In the translated app #COLUMN_WIDTH# is REMOVED.
Is it a bug?
Thanks.

With horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (the default), it is hard to control
column widths because the columns are sometimes overridden to make sure they
fit on the screen.

Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretative translation for legacy input control context request (right-click)

Redundant post - however the topic (title) is different to point out the potential of adding translation for right-click to universal app input controls. The part about a solution for translation is in bold at the bottom of this post ...
Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretation translating right-click to a left-click to activate context (menu) in universal app web style (similar to oo context menu for oo legacy style).
Bug: Task view: OO context menu: Should show "nothing" (like right-click Start Menu button) - but right click Task view shows the oo context menu for the Task bar (wrong context)
Besides behaving wrongly (should be like right clicking the Start button) ....
the problem is the user is likely to look for actions on that context menu.
However to activate the context menu for this universal app kind of behavior you actually need to left-click the button for the Task view ... and then you get the universal app like context menu.
Microsoft must have been trying to figure out what to do about this kind of voupling mismatch between legacy (right-click) and universal app (left-click) conmtext menus. confusing for users it weill become nevertheless.
But the left-click style supports touch.
One solution though is to support right-click on i.e. Task view and Start button. Thus for new kind (universal app kind-of)input controls - right-click will work (instead of just being ignored) just like left-click. Allthough not a correct left-click
- it will be helpful and interpretive translating the intension of receiving a context. A practical solution with right-click translating into left-click for universal app controls considering that the context menu actually has become a hybrid of left-click
and right-click (with a precedence for left-click though)

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Translated application and calendar BUG?

Hello there,
APEX 4.2.1.008
I have an application, Application Primary Language = "French (Canada) (fr-ca)", Application Language Derived From = "Session".
I have a translated application, mapping Language = "English (Canada) (en-ca)"
When I execute a page with a calendar in the french application everything works fine, but in english previous, Next or Today buttons doesn't refresh the calendar.
I was able to reproduce it in the Sample Database Application on apex.oracle.com :
User : demo
Pwd : demo
French = OK :
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=72351:10:&p_lang=fr-ca
English = :( :
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=72351:10:&p_lang=en-ca
Thanks for your help,
Lucien

Hi,
I tried reproducing the issue in apex.oracle.com with the language derived from session and also changing the language to 'en-ca' and unable to reproduce the issue all the buttons work fine.
i would like to know did you customize buttons or made additional changes to the Calendar Page ?
Also what steps did you follow to translate the Sample Application which was English to "Canadian French" or if you can provide developer credentials or export of the Application will be very helpful.
thanks

BLOB download from report region in translated application does not work

We created an application (APEX 3.1.2) with a base language dutch (300) and a translated application en-uk (3001). The problem is that in the translated application downloading BLOB's from a report region does not work and results in an error (page cannot be found).
The query source for the region is:
select naam
, dbms_lob.getlength(bestand)
, mimetype
from bos_documentatie
The column 'dbms_lob.getlength(filename)' is defined as a 'BLOB Download Format Mask' with the following setting:
DOWNLOAD:BOS_DOCUMENTATIE:BESTAND:NAAM::MIMETYPE:FILENAME:::attachment:Open
The URL's to the BLOB documents are different between the dutch and en-uk application:
dutch:
http://nldvnr01ux002:7792/pls/xvapexd/apex_util.get_blob?s=4260101889649158&a=300&c=12455124581749125&p=1001&k1=Application Multi Language.doc&k2=&ck=A24A5EA6903C5A9603B86D30F128F4DE&rt=CR
en-uk:
http://nldvnr01ux002:7792/pls/xvapexd/apex_util.get_blob?s=4260101889649158&a=300&c=12455124581749125.3001&p=1001&k1=Application Multi Language.doc&k2=&ck=7FF0C64FDD48A4D7A6892CFB2B6BCA57&rt=CR
As you can see the c parameter for the en-uk version has a '.3001' at the end, the internal ID of the translated application. I don't know if this can be the cause of the problem?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the suggestion. However we have a lot of APEX applications build in that same APEX version (one development database) and upgrading now to a higher APEX version would mean we would have to re-test all our applications and upgrade all our test and production environments, just for this bug. And, maybe the higher APEX version may not solve our problem.
Thanks and regards,
Patrick

Blob in classic report - broken images in translated application

Hello,
I have an application containing a classic report with a blob column displayed as inline images. The application's UI is translated and published (from en to de in my case) according to APEX docu. Everything seems to work fine so far but all classic reports with blobs show broken images in the translated application.
The report query is something like:
SELECT IMAGE_NAME,
        CATALOG_MIME,
        CATALOG_FILENAME,
        CATALOG_LAST_UPD,
        ID,
        dbms_lob.getlength(CATALOG_IMAGE) CATALOG_IMAGE
FROM    IMAGE imgThe images are displayed by using the format mask "IMAGE:....inline" on the CATALOG_IMAGE column and the generated image URLs (<img src="...">) look like this:
In primary language (App ID 251, working): http://server/pls/apex/apex_util.get_blob?s=724178467531162&a=251&c=6844840372320206&p=5305&k1=288447&k2=&ck=7475F2F4A0CFA99CC137C9F9008CE3F9&rt=CR
In translated app (App ID 151, broken images): http://server/pls/apex/apex_util.get_blob?s=724178467531162&a=251&c=6844840372320206,151&p=5305&k1=288447&k2=&ck=4576169EC6C9645C83E321610FE4BE6B&rt=CR
Also by entering the broken image URL directly the server says: "The requested URL /pls/apex/apex_util.get_blob was not found on this server."
Is this a bug in APEX (using 3.1.2), anyone else encountered this? Is there a solution or workaround?
Thanks for infos,
Stefan

Follow-up by myself:
I found a workaround for this by using the apex_util.get_blob_file_src function instead of declarative blob support. The code generated by this seems to work also in the translated application.
Btw, the original problem remains in APEX 3.2, as just tested at apex.oracle.com. I've made a test comparing declarative blob support to apex_util.get_blob_file_src in the sample application in my workspace (SMEINDL), application id 50912, page 3 (products). If anyone is interested, please have a look at it.

Submit button not setting request in translated application

I have an application (id 103) with a primary language of en-gb, and application language derived from browser. This works OK (validations, page branches, etc).
I then created a language mapping to app id 103001 (fr), seeded the translatable text, exported the xliff file, translated some of the strings (using Transolution - http://transolution.python-hosting.com/), uploaded the xliff, applied it and published the application.
With the browser language set to en-gb, the application still works. When running with the browser set to fr, the correct translations appear, but the submit button does not work - the page refreshes but the fields are not validated. Switching on debug shows the request as SUBMIT when running in english, but it has no value when running in french.
Any ideas? Using HTML DB version 2.0.0.00.49 on 10g R2 on linux.

James,
Thanks for your patience.
It's a software defect. I verified this in the Application Express code. It only affects the following combination:
1) Running a translated application
2) You have an item button on the page
3) You specify the item button in the declarative When Button Pressed select list condition on the validation.
The evaluation of the condition is not properly accounting for the translated IDs in use. There are a number of workarounds:
1) Use a normal button and not an item button
2) Use a different method to specify the condition, either one of the declarative conditions or a PL/SQL expression (e.g., :REQUEST = ...)
I hope you don't mind, but I changed the condition for the validation in your application. I removed it from When Button Pressed and changed it to Request = Expression1. After republishing your application, it works fine now.
Thanks again for your persistence and helpfulness on this issue. I will log this as a bug and we will get this resolved.

Missing apps in Applications Folder

I recently installed Yosemite on a clean hard drive. I reinstalled all my purchased apps from the app store. All the apps appear in Launchpad but several don't show up in the Finder applications folder. Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers, Pages and Photoshop Elements are present in Launchpad but missing from the applications folder. Since they are not in the applications folder I can't include them in stacks of similar programs and launch them from the dock. I have to launch from Launchpad and they all launch just fine. This isn't a real big deal but it's inconvenient. Any ideas why the apps aren't listed in the applications folder?
I am running a 2.8 GHz eight core 2008 Mac Pro with 6 GB memory and 8 TB storage.

Hi paranomasian
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the programs are install but are not in the Application folder. I would recommend that you read this article, you may be able to find the programs this way and add them to the dock.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC. I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall.."

PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC. I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

I cant download ITunes because it is saying im missing my Apple Application Support

I tried to download ITunes muliple times but it keeps saying it is missing the Apple Application Support.

A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
Windows Update error 8000FFFF
If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

URGENT : Problems with exporting a translated application

Hi ! I have a problem with exporting a translated application. Effectively, I exported both applications (The normal and the translated version). I want now to apply the translation XLIFF. I want to know if it is possible to apply my old XLIFF file. The problem is that I can't select the same ID for my application.
I really have problems!
Anyone can help me ?

When I import the translated version, the translation works a little bit. Effectively, all my reports appear but there is no item that appears.

Multi Language Solution (not by use of "Translate Application")

Hi All,
I try to implement a "multi language" functionality into my APEX Application but want to avoid the "Translate Application" method.
As I'm not very keen in JavaScript and PL/SQL Coding, I need your help.
What I want to do:
I have a table tbl_lang (var varchar2(20), lang_en varchar2(50), lang_de varchar2(50), lang_fr varchar2(50)).
It contains the name of a variable "var" that shall be filled with the Item Titles in the preselected language (de, fr or en).
The language can be chosen from a select list an dependent of the chosen language I do a "select var, lang_*en* from ... " or a "select var, lang_*de* from ... " and I fill my variable with the dependent language.
Each Item on my Page has the variable set instead of a written Title.
The Title of the Item Surname is for example &P2_LANG_SURENAME. and has the Value is "Surename" or "Vorname" or "Prénom".
The Problem ist:
I don't want to define a hidden Item for each Variable.
Is it possible to read the translations from the tbe_lang and fill a bunch of variables or an array that I can use within the Apllication without binding it to a hidden Item?
Best regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
>> That menas if I want to change the original application I have to redeploy the language after each change!?
I’m not sure what you mean by redeploy. The principle of the APEX translation mechanism is that you have your primary language application, which contains all your application logic. For each extra language, the APEX engine creates a language mapping application (a shadow copy as you call it) which contains a copy of your application logic and all the relevant translations to the underlying language. The translation mechanism includes a seed process which synchronize all the changes made to your primary language application (which is the only application you are working on) and also generate a XLIFF file that contains all the translatable components of your application. When you are done translating the XLIFF file, you can use the APEX translation mechanism to publish the new version and translation.
Moreover, the APEX translation mechanism also allows you to translate all the APEX engine internal messages, which you can’t do by yourself.
If by deployment you mean installing the multi-lingual application in a new APEX instance, working with the APEX translation mechanism means that you’ll need to install 3 (in your case) separate applications. The primary language application (which can also include all the supporting object) and simple import of all the other translated applications.
From my own experience I can assure you that working with the APEX translation mechanism is much much more simpler, easier and efficient than the road you want to take, not to mention the far more simple (and central) maintenance options. Your way – specific PL/SQL code for each language – can be a maintenance nightmare.
Also, bear in mind (and I believe this was your original question) that you’ll need to maintain a hidden item for every page component with a label, e.g. page items, buttons, tabs, report headers, etc. You’ll probably need to use some dynamic SQL functions otherwise you’ll have to deal with each component separately. In other words, you’re not only want to reinvent the wheel (as all of it has already been done by the development team) you are not dealing with very small and basic wheel, but something far more complicated.
From your response to my questions, I understand that you never experience the use of the APEX translation mechanism. I think you should try it. You can use apex.oracle.com for that. Develop a simple application that includes all the component types you going to use (Forms, Reports, Tabular Forms, IR etc.) and see how you can handle it all. Only then, you should decide what road to take.
As I said in my first post, what you are asking is probably doable. The question is whether you need to do it.
Regards,
Arie.

Creating a translatable application

Hi friends,
Now am working in translatable application, i followed oracle apex cookbook [Creating Multilingual APEX Applications|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/bookstore/apex-cookbook-chapter-256792.pdf] .
1. In Globalization tab Application Language Derived From i changed to Item Preference (use item containing preference).
2. Created a application item FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE
3. Created application process on On Load: Before Header (page template header)
begin
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':'||:APP_PAGE_ID||':'||:
APP_SESSION);
end;
Condition Type
Request = Expression 1.
LANGThis the url i used to call the application in Arabic language
http://localhost:7779/pls/apex/f?p=108:1:0:LANG:NO::FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE:ar-kw
But nothing changed its still in application primary language .

Hi Andy,
I translated my application using xliff file also added navigation bar entries as Arabic but still no change. I done the below steps.
1. Map your primary language application to a arbic (ar-kw) translated application
2. Seed translatable text to translation repository.
3. Download XLIFF file.
4. Upload XLIFF
5. Published Application Translation
Navigation bar entry:
Target is a: Page in this application
Page: &APP_PAGE_ID.
Request: LANG
Set these items: FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE
With these values: ar-kw
In Manually Edit Translation Repository Translate From, Translate To both showing in english only.

Translated application do not found !

Hello,
After translating and publishing an application, id 1000(English) to id 1001 (French), the translated application do not appear in the list of the applications
and when I execute the translated application (http://...../pls/htmldb/f?p=1001:1), I have the following error:
Error ERR-1016 Application "1001" Page "1" not found (requested language="fr-ca")
OK
Any help, because I do not found any help in the documentation !
Thanks.
Jina.

Jina - The translated applications do not appear in the list of available applications in the Builder. You make all changes to the base application. Similarly, when you set up the environment for the language of the translated application, e.g., the browser language setting, then when you run the base application the translated application will run.
