Dynamic Translation using apex_lang.lang

Hello,
I've created an dynamic translated LOV using the apex_lang.lang function in the LOV.
select apex_lang.lang(NAME) display_value, id return_value
from COUNTRIES
This works fine. Now I also want country names which are displayed in Reports to be translated.
So I thougth Easy...considering the same function works :
select ID,
apex_lang.lang(NAME) Name,
ISO2,
ISO3,
from COUNTRIES
unfortunately this doesn't work. Can anybody help me?
Thx!

Problem solved.
Restarted the internet explorer.

Dynamic Translation for reports in apex

I am busy investigating globalization.
The current issue I have is that I can quite happily use apex_lang.lang(column_name) to translate lists of values.
I put the same call in my report (based on sql query) , but the same values are not translated. I subsequently tried basing this on a report (pl/sql body returning query) but this didn't have the desired affect either.
My Report is hidden until someone presses a button , which is when the report is produced. Since the LOV's were translated I was expecting the report to be translated as well.
I did see another thread related to this, which appeared to suggest restarting the browser was the solution(I am unconvinced though).
I am switching languages via a button
My version of apex is 3.1.0

The problem was that although the lov's get translated dynamically, you have to republish the application for the changes to appear on the report.

Dynamic Translations - Sometimes Translated Sometimes not

Apex 3.1
Oracle 10.2.0.2 on aix
I am having a little issue with dynamic translations.
All of the translations work okay in the LOV's, however when I use the values in reports, they sometimes appear translated and sometimes don't appear translated.
I have been using the apex_lang.lang(column_name) function in the queries which I am using for the reports
The only other thing probbaly worth mentioning is that the reports only appear when the page is submitted.
The page still remains in the foreign language (its not switching back to english)
Sometimes if I copy the english text from the report, and do another translation, the report shows up with the correct language (but I now am translating 2 strings exactly the same way)
Any ideas on what's causing this

I've put up a small sample on apex.com. [My application|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33452]
Note that the application has been changed to use application express credentials so you need to basically login with your workspace and password.
I've put data in the first two reports, which both work fine.
In the second report (I've left the original query commented out). My second report does not translate the data, although publishing it here indicates everything is correct and it translates so I'm at a loss as to why this is the case
I have applied my translation file and the menus/buttons etc do not appear to have been translated.
I had a quick look at the file and it does appear the translations are there

Dynamic translations - how do i pull them out?

Hello everyone,
just a quick question:
Suppose i have a hundred dynamic translation loaded in Apex, how do i pull them out in case i want to load them on a different apex environment?
It seems to me that there is no way to export them, but hopefully i am wrong.
Bye,
Flavio
http://oraclequirks.blogspot.com

how nice when one realizes that there is a solution exactly in the same moment while one is pressing the "post message" button.
Here is my "epiphany":
dynamic translations are based on user data, which means that these data must be stored somewhere.
Now, to pull out the translations one must execute the APEX_LANG.LANG function for the desired language(s) and store the result in some table if the returned text is different from the source text. If the text is equal for both languages it is reasonable to think that the translated text is missing or redundant.
Thanks for my help :-D
Flavio
PS: however i still think it could be useful to have the option of exporting existing dynamic translations in the XLIFF files as for other named messages.

Dynamic translation of words

Our application is developed using windows forms.
In our application the user will enter lots of notes and comments.
Which must be translated to either English or Arabic.
What issue we faced here is when I stored the fields like notes or comments in English in database and when I want to show it in Arabic.
That is when I translate a sentence to Arabic the meaning is not exact.
That is word translation is good but sentence translation is not exact.
We can use resx files if the words are static like text of label box. In my case the words are dynamic.
We are using Bing/MicrosoftTranslator.
What is the methodology to translate a sentence ?

Hi, Thanks for that reply. That was really very helpful.
Then for translation what we did are:
1. For translating predefined texts and error message we are using .Net language pack.
2. We used .resx files for static translation. That is for those controls whose texts don't change dynamically.
3. The dynamic texts will be stored as it is. That is if user types in Arabic then the data will be stored
in Arabic, else if the user types in English the data will be stored in English.
4. Then if the user wanted a translation in dynamic texts, we looped through all our text controls (which
are supposed to have those dynamic texts) and got the text of each controls. Then translated those texts using Bing/Microsoft-translator.
As we saw earlier, some part of the dynamic translation was not exact. So my client asked me what in
general is the percentage of
accuracy in "Bing/Microsoft Translator" translation. If you have any such documentation it will be very helpful for us.
Thanks and Regards,

How to export dynamic translations

Hello,
I have an application where I have defined various dynamic translation strings (Used by static LOVs). Now I want to move the application from e.g. development enviroment to production enviroment. As far as I've seen, the dynamic translations I defined are not included in the application export or the XLIFF file generated for translation purpose.
Is there a way to export and import the dynamic translations? Or do I have to retype every single message?
Thanks.
Stephan

Hello Stephan,
>> As far as I've seen, the dynamic translations I defined are not included in the application export or the XLIFF file generated for translation purpose.
You should see dynamic translation strings both in the main language exported file (search the file for “Dynamic Translation”) and in the XLIFF. In the XLIFF, they are inserted with the <target> tag already translated, so you don’t have to do that again.
>> I have defined various dynamic translation strings (Used by static LOVs)
How exactly you are using the dynamic translated strings with static LOVs?
Regards,
Arie.

Data element Translations using se63

Hi Experts,
I am working on dataelement translations from EN to RU, but i need to change Feild label Medium to max 20 and activate that then I need to translate that to Lang RU.

Its very big time taking. how to use se63 for this case. please help me out to solve this issue asap.
appriciate for response.
thanks.

Its a Manual process and YES I Agree its time taking.
SE63 language translation envirnoment doesn't provide any such functionality.
Hope this Link gives a complete idea about translations.

How to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter using Web Services SDK?

I am struggling to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter of a report.I am using Java Web Services SDK ... I tried to use PromptInfo.getLOV().getValues() method but it does not work.First of all ... is this possible (to get the list of values for a dynamic param) using Web Services?Second of all, if this is possible, how should I do it ... it seems it works fine when running the report from CMC. It asks for DB logon info and after that it provides a list of values.Thx 

Your assumption is correct. We are trying to get the LOVs from the Crystal Report. I was not aware that this is not supported by Web Services SDK.We used Web Services SDK to integrated the Crystal Reports in our web application. We implemented some basic actions for reports: schedule, view instances, run ad-hoc reports.We encountered this problem when trying to run/schedule reports with dynamic parameters (a list of values from DB). We were unable to get the LOVs.Please let me know if you can think of an alternative to look at.Thanks a lot,Catalin

How to create a viewobject dynamically without using wizard

Hi,
I am Using jDEV 11G, i need to create a viewobject dynamically without using wizard, without binding from any entity.

just like shopping cart.
i have done thsi code:
ViewObjectImpl view=new ViewObjectImpl();
view.addDynamicAttributeWithType("Att1","String",null);
view.addDynamicAttributeWithType("Att2","String",null);
view.addDynamicAttributeWithType("Att2","String",null);
Row rw=view.createRow();
rw.setAttribute("Att1","First1");
rw.setAttribute("Att2","First2");
rw.setAttribute("Att2","First3");
view.insertRow(rw);
I have a RichTable , i need bind this viewobject into that.

Question regarding the creation of a custom dynamic stamp using "Will Print" from "Set Doc. Actions

Hi all,
Using Acrobat 9.0 Professional, I have successfully created a dynamic stamp using the forums where I have added Login / Date to my own image and it works great as designed. However, the problem I am having is that when a document is stamped it becomes flat and doesn't update dynamically which does not work for my requirements.
I need to create a pdf that is stamped by myself so that other users (using only Reader) can open the pdf and when printed the stamp will print with the correct date/time (in the format I describe below).
I found a workaround (outside of a stamp) where I added a text box (called "Today") that updates everytime the document is printed by going to
Advanced / Document Processing / Set Document Actions / Document Will Print
and adding the following Java Code:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
This provides me with the unique number that I need for printing (ie: 20100317102030). It works great as an inserted text field on my pdf.
My problem is that when I use the "create custom stamp" as in other tutorials by inserting this new text field, it will not update (or display) on print, even though it was set the exact same way as the custom stamp I got working using the Adobe dynamic stamp information.
Can you offer any advice on how I can get this to work as a custom stamp? I would rather not have to create both a stamp and then overlay the text field manually as I have hundreds of documents (maybe more) to do this for.
Also, as an aside, if I could get this to work, I would also like to add Login ID that updates in the same manner as my custom date format (but one problem at a time I guess! )
Thanks for any and all help that you can provide. I looked through these forums and elsewhere, but I don't seem to see anyone else with the same problems (with solutions posted).
I really wish Adobe had a Custom Stamp creator as part of their program, with the dynamic option. It would be so easy for them and save a lot of users so much time.

Stamps are just like a inked rubber stamp, except in Acrobat you can suppress printing them and you can move them. So if you use a dated "Faxed" stamp when you fax a document, even though you can adjust the stamp before affixing the stamp, once the document is stamped the date on the document can not be changed or moved. It appears, that the use of a stamp might not be the best solution.
"Interactive" means Acrobat JavaScript programing.
With JavaScript not only can you insert variable data but also fixed text strings or a combination of both.
So your script could be updated to something like:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = "Printed : " + util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1333261#1333261
Getting the 'login name" will require some special JavaScript code being added to an application level JavaScript folder that runs upon initialization and is the data or function created is then accessed by your PDF. This file will need to be installed on each user's system.

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
Hope it works for you to...

How to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP

Hi there,
I would like to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP in that the newsflash will be pulling information from a MySQL database. The newsflash should also have a link to view more information about the piece of news a user wants to know more about. Which tools do I need to use in dreamweaver and how's the procedure to go about that. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanx in advance!

I think you´ll need at least a MySQL table with the following columns:
- id (primary key, int, auto_increment etc)
- news_headline (varchar)
- news_teaser (text)
- news_content (text)
What I´d personally add are columns such as:
- news_date (date or datetime)
- news_external_link (varchar), if a "read more..." link is supposed to navigate to an external URL rather than displaying the contens of the "news_contents" column.
Based on such a MySQL table it should be easy to use Dreamweavers standard Server Behaviors to create the usual datalist.php, insert.php, update.php and delete.php documents, and there are numerous tutorials out there which will teach you how to do that.
Am I right when assuming that you´ll also need to know how to automatically pull, say, the 5 most recent news records from the database ?

You are running the packet incorrectly and it should be like this:-
