Multi-Lingual sorting

Hi
As our database tables contain Multi-lingual data(English/Japanese/Jerman/Spanish etc), we need to implement MULTI-LINGUAL sort in our application. We are using ORACLE-10g as DB for .Net application.
If anyone has already implemented the MULTI-LINGUAL sort in effective way, pls do guide me to proceed in further. I badly need a solution for this.
hi Scott swank, hope u can give me a better solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ela

You may use NLS_SORT to get the proper linguistic sorting: for example
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT='GERMAN';
Note: Linguistic sort can prevent Oracle from using indexes, decreasing performance.

Multi Lingual String not getting displayed properly with Java 1.5.4

Hi,
I have a strange problem and i think the problem is due to java 1.5.4.
Problem is:
My application was previously deployed on weblogic6.1 server and jdk used was 1.3.1
After i migrated my application to weblogic 9.2 and started using jdk 1.5.4, i am not able to correctly view the data which is stored in different languages on browser.
Some more details:
OS - Linux.
Database - Informix 9.2
Intresting part is :
If i enter a new multi lingual string from my application (deployed on WLS 9.2 with JDK 1.5.4) and store it in database, and then try to retreive it, it is displayed correctly.
Issue arises only when the multi lingual string created and stored in database from my old application (deployed on WLS 6.1 with JDK 1.3.1) is retrieved and displayed in the new application (WLS 9.2 with JDK 1.5.4).
Hope my issue is clear and if any one has any clue as to how to solve this issue. Kindly help

One thread is enough.

Error Maintaining multi-lingual tables.

Hello, for past few days i have been stack at this error, can't find the solution. So i am bringing my problem here, hoping for an answer.
Platform: Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5
i am on R12.1.3 version and DB: 11g 2 realise.
I need to install a Finnish language on EBS, so i licensed Finnish language in EBS.
As mentioned in subject my problem lies within Maintaining multi-lingual tables.

How to generate multi-lingual applications with Designer?

In Designer 10g we have the definitions of hundreds of tables and views and
forms/reports modules. Currently all texts (prompts, hints, comments, help texts, etc) are in Dutch. Because of new customers in Germany, we now have to translate everything into German (and in the future also to French and English etc).
We know that we can use Translation Hub to translate forms and reports,
however, many tables/columns are used by more modules (sometimes 10 or more). So, the translation of each module with the Hub is very inefficient.
We are wondering if there are easier ways. For example, when we translate a
prompt of a tablecolumn, Designer (Headstart) can update all related module items. So, with one translation, we in fact translate many modules at once.
We could perhaps make a copy of the application, but that will work very
inefficiently because each modification has to be done on multiple
applications.
Has anyone a genius solution for this?
Thanks for your help, Jan Willem

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there isn't a genius solution out there for you. And it isn't a Designer problem, it's an application architecture problem.
You'll notice that Headstart (since you've looked at that) does two things for you. One is that it has utilities to go update many items for you. Two is that it uses standard error and LOV tables which are multi-lingual based. You enter your messages and lookups in many languages (many rows per code, one per language) and the Headstart library logic displays the right row based on the code and the NLS setting. architecture.
In your case, where you have hard-coded everything, if you don't want to re-architect things, then your only solution is to clone things. Probably best off (based on other client experience) to just keep the single model in your base language, develop and gen as you have been, and then work your way through all the source code (database and application components) to do all the translation (as noted the Translation Hub can help some), and then implement each result. At least that way you know all the functional logic works. So you're not introducing any bugs (except for when the translated info is longer then the base info -- as we have here in Canada where French takes up more space then English). sorry. ugly.

How to design multi-lingual reports w.r.t. boilerplate text

Hi,
We need to design reports and report templates that are multi-lingual with respect to the boilerplate text in them.
How could this be done, if at all?
I am a bit familiar with the ideas about NLS parameters used to translate and format data that comes from the database, error messages etc., from other OTN posts and Reports documentation.
NLS stuff is NOT what I'm asking about.
Also, I don't think I need to mix languages in one report (or maybe is this part of a possible solution?)
Can I design a report which dynamically displays its boilerplate text parts in different languages, depending on the Windows locale of the user invoking the report?
Can I put all the boilerplate translations inside the report or some report 'configuration' file, rather than somewhere in the database?
If the report is set for batch production and automatic distribution, how would the scheduling mechanism tell the report which language to have its boilerplate text displayed at each invocation?
I think we'll be using Reports Builder 6i for development and will deploy on 9iAS R2 Reports Services. I'm not the actual developer, so I'm not sure about which Report Builder version will be used.
Thanks a lot,
Gabriel Tanase

hello,
there are several ways to do it. i guess the most practical way is to actually use the XML customization feature that is available with reports or use translation hub, but since you stated that you are using 6i this is not an option as translation hub is only available from 9i onwards.
however the XML customziation approach would work for 6i as well. essentailly you create your report and make sure all your boilerplate text items have a uniqe name. then you can create a customization file for each language that then changes the content of each of the poilerpalte items. those can be applied at runtime or in batch.
as for the scheduling, you would need to either pass in a parameter naming the customization file or simply run the correct language version of the report.
thanks,
ph.

Maintaining default locale in multi-lingual application

Hello,
I have a multi-lingual application where the language can be changed at runtime.
To make the following code work properly, the default locale has to be set each
time the language changes. Why?
Since I need to check sometimes the platforms original locale (I do this with
"Locale.getDefault()"), I am looking for a way not to change the default locale,
but still to change the resourceBundle.
In the API I read under "ResourceBundle, Cache Management" that the bundles are cached. Is this the reason why redefining the resourceBundle has no effect? And if yes, how can it be avoided?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Y extends JFrame {
boolean toggle;
Locale currentLocale;
JButton b;
ResourceBundle languageBundle;
String country, userLanguage;
public Y() {
    setSize(300,300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    Container cp= getContentPane();
    b= new JButton();
    b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
     toggle= !toggle;
     if (toggle)
       country= "DE";
     else
       country= "GB";
     setUserLanguage(country);
    cp.add(b, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    setUserLanguage("GB");
    setVisible(true);
public static void main(String args[]) {
    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
     new Y();
void setUserLanguage(String country) {
    if (country.equals("DE"))
      userLanguage= "de";
    else
      userLanguage= "en";
    currentLocale = new Locale(userLanguage, country);
//    System.out.println(currentLocale); // The locale changes ...
//    Locale.setDefault(currentLocale); // Remove comment slashes and it works.
//    languageBundle.clearCache(); // No effect.
    languageBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyBundle",currentLocale);
    System.out.println(languageBundle); // ... but the resourceBundle does not change.
    b.setText(languageBundle.getString("ButtonText"));
The resource bundle files:
MyBundle.properties
ButtonText= Just a button
MyBundle_de_DE.properties
ButtonText= Nur ein KnopfEdited by: Joerg22 on 18.08.2008 13:26

What's your default locale? If your default locale is de_DE, that's the expected behavior. The reason for it is the fallback mechanism searches default locale's bundle before falls back to the base bundle, i.e., in case of searching en_GB bundle, the search order is:
en_GB
en
de_DE
de
(base)
So, it will choose MyBundles_de_DE.
If you do not want this default locale fallback, you can specify ResourceBundle.Control instance, which is returned from ResourceBundle.Control.getNoFallbackControl() method, in your getBundle() call. Or if you do not use JDK6, you could copy the base bundle to MyBundles_en, which is ugly but should work.

Failure during running Maintain Multi-lingual Tables

Hi,
Currently, the system is running with R12.1.1 on RHEL 5.7.
All the prerequisite patches are installed including language performance.
Then, I am adding 4 additional languages. So, what's done is...
1. Activated languages in the license manager.
2. Run Maintain Multi-lingual Tables in AD Admin.
I assigned 16 workers for this, and the last two assignments failed with the following messages.

Hi,
When I had search work, it seems that <not enough space> is causing this.
Or, is there any other reason than this for the failure?I believe this is only the reason and you need to add some space to APPS_TS_SEED tablesapce.
ALTER TABLESPACE APPS_TS_SEED add datafile '/<replace with the actual file name path>' size 1024M;
3.
After the solution is applied, how is <Maintain Multilingual Tables> resumed?
Currently, my status is that I am on pause at the following message;If you have not stopped the adadmin, then use adctrl to restart the failed workers.
If you have already stopped/quit adadmin, then run adadmin again.

Maintain multi lingual tables poor performance

hello all,
i am trying to install 4 new langauges into one of my test environments.
the first stage is to add the language via licence manager - i have done this ok.
the enxt stage is to run 'maintain multi lingual tables' via adadmin
the problme i am having is that one process is taking over 48 hours to fail with snapshot too old, even though i have increased the undo_retention from 10800 to 48000, the job JTFNLINS.sql still fails
I have a tar raised at the moment, but with not much information coming back,
has any one got any tips/hints on how i can get this job working succesfully and in a shorter time?
many thanks

Multi-lingual Translator component in java?

hello all,
I want to make a Multi-lingual Translator component in java
which can be used to convert any existing web site(developed
using any technology asp/jsp etc) to any foreign language
viz german, spanish,italian and other major foreign
languages.
Please let me know how do i proceed in java with respect to
the following?:
1. It has to be developed as a component in java such that
it can be included in any existing web site as a control
which simply gives the users the option of converting
either the current web page from english to any other
foreign language or simply the entire web site from
english to any other foreign language
     How to develop it as a component so that it can be
independently merged into any existing web site(whether
asp or jsp) as a control? which technology should i be
using here EJB's or Applets or any other?
I personally think it can be a applet because with EJB's
container/application server is required.
what do you all suggest?
2. I don't want to use any free translators that are
available freely on net these days, because a lot of them
re-directs to their own translation page and includes
their own banners and or advertisements etc., which may
not be feasible with us as we have to include this
utility on our company's web sites
3. How much time it should take approximately to develop?
4. If there's any free tool available however without the
limitations as mentioned above in point 2, then i am not
averse to using it please let me know if such a tool is
available.
5. Please also let me know if there exists already a multi-
lingual component in java with source code freely
available anywhere on net, then please give me the link.
This will help me save a lot of time in developing it.
Please let me know the answers to above of my queries and
u"ll be doing a great deal of help here.
Thanks in advance

Selecting OS language for multi-lingual systems

Hi,
I just got a T400 yesterday, which was supposed to include a multi-lingual version of XP (English/Swedish/Finnish). However, I never got the choice at startup to choose language, and it defaulted to swedish. I have already tried to restore the system to factory defaults from the Rescue & Recovery partition, but also then I didn't have a choice.
Is there anyone who knows how I can switch OS language to english, or, is there any way to check that my version is indeed multi-lingual?
Thanks in advance,

Multi-lingual (Variance) taking long time

Hi,
I have a site with one page in English and I have created 12 sites in different languages.
I am facing Slow propagation of content from root site (EN) to 12 other site (Approximately 6 minutes to create 12 pages for 12 lingual sites), which
is more.
How can I reduce the propagation time?

Hi ,
I am facing exactly the same issue . I have an English Root site with 10K + contents and I have to propagate them to 15 multi-lingual sub-sites . The propagation time is 6 minutes . After working with the Microsoft team , we found that it was the disk I/O
issue and after migrating the VM to a new host, the time per content came down to 2+ minutes and it was running fine. Now suddenly we are facing the same issue of 6+ minutes. Nothing was changesd after that. What to do , I am really very confused .

How to define additional virtual image directories for multi lingual app.

Hi,
In my ApEx application, for English language I want to use default image directory /i/, but for other languages I want to use seperate image directories like /i/fr/ for French etc. In - Translate Application -> Application Language Mapping , there is a text area to capture the Image Directory.
How can I define additional image directory (apart from /i/) in my multilingual application? What are the steps for defining these virtual image directories in a multi lingual setup?
I am using ApEx v 3.1.2 on 11g with embeded PL/SQL gateway.
Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Multi-Lingual JSP Reports

Hi,
Can I use the customize xml functionality for providing multi-lingual capability for JSP reports?
I have been able to replace report fields labels with foreign language/customized labels for PDF and 6i-style HTML reports. How should one go about implementing this feature for JSP reports (reports with web source).
Thanks,
Bharat

Hi Bharat
I do not think you can use the xml customization for web reports which you run from jsp engine and not through Reports servlet. However if character set setting in your web report jsp page matches with your required language, the report output with come in same lang settings. So you do not have any issue for the data part. And you can edit the web report jsp page to correct the Labels etc.
Thanks
Rohit
