Answer 1

We (in "Istra informaticki inzenjering", Croatia, Pula) have developed our own solution
for dynamical translation of Forms/Reports modules (including Forms/Reports 6i).
First of all, database messages (RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR) and Forms messages (ALERT etc...) have been extracted to a database table,
and those messages are called using procedure that returns translation.
Forms "labels" (prompts, hints in items, labels in menu items ...) and Reports boilerplates have been extracted
into TXT files for Forms and XML files for Reports together with translation.
TXT files are created using Forms JDAPI, and XML files using (our own) Java program that reads Reports modules converted to REX format.
We use TXT/XML files in this way:
- TXT: Forms PRE-FORMS trigger calls procedure (in Forms library) that reads related TXT file
and translates Forms "labels" using SET_ITEM_PROPERTY (... PROMPT_TEXT ...), SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY (... LABEL ...) etc.
- XML: Reports BEFORE-PARAMETAR-FORM trigger calls procedure (in Reports library) that uses related XML file and SRW.APPLY_DEFINITION
