Internationalization in ADF

Hi,
Does anyone know how to implement internationalization into an ADF web-application? I've allready created my ApplicationResources.properties file and added the bean:messages to my forms.
I'd like to use links so users can choose in which language the page is displayed.
Is this possible with ADF?
Greets,
Sofie

There is a paper about this in the JDeveloper Technical Papers section on OTN.

so how can i write propery file which support hindi font.
Manish

Hi Manish,
We also had same requirement where we need to show indian local language(Hindi ,Bengali and many more ).
We had implemented following approach and perhaps it will helpful for you.
1-First we changed the encoding value in jdeveloper.
go to jdeveloper --> tools --->preference-->encoding , select to UTF8
2-We used to get the properties and it's translated value from business and then we were manually put these pair into related resource bundle.
And using this we were able to implemented multilanguage support.
Thanks

Implementing Internationalization in Oracle ADF, small problem

Hi all i have simple question,
i cant internationalization Search and Select popup dialog.
I read all document about Implementing Internationalization in Oracle ADF and cant see where are make mistake.
Any way i did:
Create Java class in view project:
public class BLAFBundle_sr extends ListResourceBundle {
public Object[][] getContents()
return contents;
static final Object[][] contents = {
{"SEARCH_TEXT", "Pretraga"},
{"SIMPLE_SEARCH_TEXT", "Prosta pretraga"},
{"ADVANCED_SEARCH_TEXT", "Napredna pretraga"}
Set faces-config as
<locale-config>
<default-locale>sr</default-locale>
<supported-locale>sr</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
<resource-bundle>
<base-name>SistemskeKlase.BLAFBundle_sr</base-name>
<var>sr</var>
</resource-bundle>
Set my internet explorer on sr language,
Set view project to use Automaticly sync bundle
and default bundle name as SistemskeKlase.BLAFBundle_sr
And nothing happened after building and running project

I think you are using incorrect resource string name in your method
static final Object[][] contents = {
{"SEARCH_TEXT", "Pretraga"},
{"SIMPLE_SEARCH_TEXT", "Prosta pretraga"},
{"ADVANCED_SEARCH_TEXT", "Napredna pretraga"}
}I can't find these strings SEARCH_TEXT,SIMPLE_SEARCH_TEXT,ADVANCED_SEARCH_TEXT in Selectors for Skinning Fusion's ADF Faces Components

How i can internationalize ADF BC components ?

Hi
thank you for reading my post
there are some string like attribute titles and also validation message in ADF BC components , how i can internationalize them for several languages ?
thanks

Hi User,
This is actually quite straightforward. Do a full-text search in your JDeveloper Help for "Changing the Appearance of Your Application" and you should see the "Internationalizing your Application" section on that page.
In short, JDeveloper creates resource bundle classes for your BC components that contain the externalizable strings; you can see the resource bundle classes by clicking an object and then looking at the "sources" folder in the structure window. You simply create new versions of the resource bundle for different languages. If you're using ADF Faces, the translated bundle will be used "automagically," based upon the browser language. Read the docs for more detail
Hope this helps,
John

ADF Internationalization

hi,
i'm using jdev 11.1.2.3
I'm trying to set multi language in my project
I want to select the language from the beginning and independently of the browser lang
for that i created two files that contain all translate text in two languages
myerp.properties for english and myerp_fr.properties for frensh :
all.save=Save
all.cancel=Cancel
all.back=Back
all.first=First
all.next=Next
all.previous=Previous
all.last=Last
login.username=User Name
login.password=Password
login.button=Login
login.title=Login Form
index.dashboard=Dashboard
and for example i made reference in my text label : #{viewcontrollerBundle['login.username']}, when I refer to the ressouce bundle myerp for english there's a line created automatically in my page, and same thing when i refer to the resource bundle myerp_fr :
<c:set var="viewcontrollerBundle" value="#{adfBundle['myerp']}"/>
<c:set var="viewcontrollerBundle1" value="#{adfBundle['myerp_fr']}"/>
my question is how can i programmatically set a value of viewcontrollerBundle to adfBundle['myerp'] when i choose english language, when I login to my application, and adfBundle['myerp_fr'] if not
same thing for business layer, automatically created ModelBundle.properties, i did the same thing ModelBundle_fr.properties
so how can I do to make a language selection for model layer
Thanks

See this: {message:id=10796100}
Also, you could bind your dropdown list to an harcoded LOV listing the locales supported by your application. In order to do this, you create a simple View Object and define static values. You can find an example in the [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/index-098948.html]Summit ADF Sample. Make sure you deploy this VO through a Shared application module; that way, it will only be instantiated once.

Frédéric.

Internationalization ADF BC Control Hints Label

Hi guys,
In Control Hints Label of the ViewObject's Attribute, I declared a label. It's defined in ModelBundle.properties file. Then I created an localized version of the ModelBundle.properties file whose name is ModelBundle_tr.properties.
On the JSPX page I included two ImageLink components, a CommandButton component and a InputText component. The source for the Links, the Button and the InputText are:
<af:commandButton text="#{res.LOGIN}"/>
bq. <af:spacer width="10" height="10"/>
<af:commandImageLink icon="/images/tr.png" actionListener="#{UserPreferences.localeChangeListener}" immediate="true">
bq. <af:setPropertyListener from="tr" type="action" to="#{UserPreferences.language}"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
<af:spacer width="10" height="10"/>
<af:commandImageLink icon="/images/us.png" actionListener="#{UserPreferences.localeChangeListener}" immediate="true">
bq. <af:setPropertyListener from="en" type="action" to="#{UserPreferences.language}"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.FirstName.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.label}"
required="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.precision}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.tooltip}">
<f:validator binding="#{bindings.FirstName.validator}"/> </af:inputText>
Within the UserPreferencesBean.java
public class UserPreferences {
private String language;
public UserPreferences() {
public void setLanguage(String language) {
this.language = language;
public String getLanguage() {
return language;
public void localeChangeListener(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(new Locale(getLanguage()));
When I click on any of the ImageLink, the page is refreshes and the Text of the CommandButton changes. However the label of the InputText is not changes. What is strange is that when I click the same image link the label changes. That is, I should click twice the ImageLink to be able to have correct control hint label for the view object's attribute. The code in the localeChangeListener method is not enough to have the control hint of the view object to refreshed??

Internationalization -ADF- PhaseListener

Dear all,
I have successfully internationalized my application prompts/messages etc in Greece/English using Frank's Nimphius instructions on Chapter 18 of Oracle Fusion Developer Guide! (excellent)
But I have not managed to switch dynamically the data stored in different languages in the database. My View Objects require filtering based on the user’s preferred language, but the user should be able to change the language using a button at run time (Prompts and messages change successfully at run time using a customPhaseLister).
VO filtering based on the user’s preferred language works only when I change the system regional settings, and re-open the browser.
How can I re-execute the prepare session, to set the package variable to whatever the user chooses and refresh the VO query ??
Thanks,
Maira

Dear Linn,
Yes, I am filtering the ViewObject by using the user context object and the prepareSession is executing and setCurrentUserLanguage() works and changes the VO language, based on my regional settings...
What I want to accomplish is to change language of the data dynamically at runtime... on the web, like with the prompts... by pressing the button (change Language...)
I want to reset the package variable (user context object) to whatever language the user will choose (not the language of the browser) and propagate the change to the data as well...
In order for the changes to be propagated to the query of the data, should the session in the ApplicationModuleImpl be re-initiated?
How???

Building Oracle ADF Applications Workshop

I have finished going through the "Building Oracle ADF Applications: Workshop"
from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9051jdev/ide1012/adfworkshop/buildingadfapplicationsworkshop.htm
Hopefully that is sufficient for the doc writer to locate the context of my
comments. If not, let me know and I'll provide additional information.
I grouped all of these together as one big comment. If you want it in a
different format, again, let me know.
Prior starting the workshop I printed out the entire document which resulted in
51 pages of output. In each comment, except for the first general comment, I
list the section name, step number and my page number which should be enough to
uniquely identify the area that the comment relates to. My suggestions start
out with "It would be nice...". I numbered the comments so I could have
comments refer to each other.
(1) One of the things I really liked was the "If you want to see a
demonstration of these steps, click here" links. Sometimes the discussion
was not precise so being able to see the actual usage worked well. It would
be nice if there were more of these in the workshop.
(2) "Building the Basic Page Flow", step 2, page 13.
I had some trouble with this because it wasn't clear how one changes the
DataPage's name. I used the property sheet and did it wrong, resulting in
an error. I had to consult the "If you what to see..." link to determine
how to do this correctly.
It would be nice if there were a paragraph before "When you are done"
saying something like:
To change the name of a DataPage just click on the icon's label and
enter the new value, starting with the leading slash.
(3) "Connecting the Pages", step 9, page 21.
This step has one switch to the Source editor view to make a change. This
change can also be made in the Design view.
It would be nice to stay in the Design view. The suggested wording for this
is:
In the Design view you can change the Edit button link by clicking on
the Edit button and pressing the left arrow (<--) key once on the
keyboard. The Property Inspector will be in an <A> element. Edit the
href property by appending the following:
&event=Edit
(4) "Connecting the Pages", step 10, page 22.
The first time I had trouble drawing the links. A bit more discussion on
how to draw the links with corners would be nice. One of the troubles was
that I would edit one link and another (or all of them) would suddenly
change to simple vertical links (no corners). The link lines were
separated, but the link names were displayed making it more difficult than
necessary to tell which link line went with which link name.
(5) "Adding a Create Function", step 4, page 24.
I have the same comment on this step as I did in comment (3).
(6) "Creating Session Variables with onEvent() methods", step 2, page 27.
The last paragraph describes how JDeveloper will prompt you to enter an
import statement. The comment I wrote on that page was:
Cool!
It's nice that JDeveloper handles this booking task.
(7) "Building a Message Stack with a findForward() method", step 1, page 28.
In the second paragraph it's not clear what the context is. It would be
nice if the second paragraph would start out with:
In struts-config.xml, right-click ...
(8) "Building a Message Stack with a findForward() method", step 6, page 30.
This code fragment at the end of this step has all lines starting in column
1. It would be nice if this was indented so it could be followed with less
effort. The same is true for the other code fragments in this section.
(9) "Building a Message Stack with a findForward() method", step 12, page 32.
I wrote a simple Java program that compared a String variable to a string
literal. In all cases using == to compare returned false, while .equals()
worked correctly. I was using Java 1.4.2_06_b03. Even if Java 1.5 supports
converting the == between strings to equals(), it would be nice if the
comparisons to the "type" variable used the .equals() method instead of ==,
so that those of us still using Java 1.4 would have properly working code.
Note that == in 1.4 compares the hash values while equals() looks at the
contents.
(10) "Enabling the Delete Confirmation Page", step 5, page 36.
The last sentence of the first paragraph contains the phrase:
if there are errors, build the ActionMessage object.
It would be nice if this contained an extra word as in:
if there are no errors, build the ActionMessage object.
(11) "Enabling the Delete Confirmation Page", step 6, page 36.
Line 12 (or 13 if you count blank lines) is storing a value in the request
object. It would be nice to have a discussion in this step instead of
having to wait until section "Intercepting the Middle-Tier Message", step
8, page 42 before we know what this is all about.
(12) "Overriding the findForward() Method", step 1, page 44.
It appears that the call to the super.findForward method is missing. It
would be nice if the following were inserted before the closing curly
brace:
super.findForward(actionContext);
(13) "Overriding the findForward() Method", step 9, page 46.
Near the end of this step it mentions the imports that are added. It
appears that there is a missing import statement. If this is correct, it
would be nice to also include the following import:
import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionContext;
(14) "Overriding the findForward() Method", step 10, page 46.
My diagram doesn't look like this. The "Edit" link between /browseCustomers
and /editCustomers should be "Commit". The "Cancel" link from
/editCustomers back to itself shouldn't be there. The "Commit" link from
/sure to /browseCustomers should be "Cancel". Compare this with the diagram
in section "Creating a Delete Confirmation Page and a Forward", step 5,
page 25.
(15) "Internationalizing Field Labels", step 3, page 48.
This is another case where the context is not clear. It would be nice if
the following was added to the first paragraph:
In the browseCustomers page,
(16) "Internationalizing Field Labels", step 10+, page 49.
Everything is internationalized except for the buttons. How does one
internationalize them?
(17) "Conditionally Displaying a Field", step 1, page 49.
The last sentence says "The result should look like the following:". If one
were following this workshop from front to back then what should be shown
is the internationalized version of this page.
(18) "Conditionally Displaying a Field", step 5, page 50. Bug?
When I look at the Source view of editCustomers.jsp the <INPUT> element has
a property setting of disabled="true". When I run the application and look
at the HTML source used by the browser, that same <INPUT> element has a
property setting of disabled="disabled". It works, but isn't that somewhat
redundant? I recommend that the source code should have the disabled
property setting as it appears in the Source view.

Labels Internationalization in ADFbc

Hi, I have an ADF project where I’m using ADFbc on the model level.
For labels, I’m using the “Label Text” in the “Control Hints” on the entity level, in that way if I drag the view object on multiple JFS screens the same label will be reflected on all of them.
Now my question is, how can I implement “Internationalization on the labels”, in other words, how can I change all the labels to be in other language based on the logged in user?
Jdev 11.1.1.3
Thanks,
Alain

I will assume you know the language of the logged in user.
I used this sessionScope bean in a previous a application to switch the locale at run time.
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
public class langBean
    public langBean()
        super();
Locale preferredLocale;
    public void setPreferredLocale(Locale preferredLocale)
        this.preferredLocale = preferredLocale;
    public Locale getPreferredLocale()
        return preferredLocale;
puplic void changeLocale(String language) //map the user language to Local (i.e. if English user pass en, If french user pass fr to this method)
      Locale newLocale = new Locale(language);
      FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      fctx.getViewRoot().setLocale(newLocale);
      setPreferredLocale(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale());
}once the user has logged in, determine his language, then call this method changeLocale(String language).
Then in each page in your application, open the structure window, and select the view node, from the property inspector set Locale
#{langBean.preferredLocale}
For more information:
check section: 21.4 Configuring Pages for an End User to Specify Locale at Runtime
