Portal Internationalization

HI All,
We have a requirement, the portal should give the user an option of choosing the language of his choice from a list of languages (English & Arabic). On the selection of an option, the language of portal must change respectively. The user will not be an Anonymous but a logged in user.
Could any one help me out with this?
Cheers!!!

HI, Michael
Through the "Personalize" Link (eu_role), we can get the liberty of changing the language. I tried and successfully did it. The next issue I am facing is, how to have restrictions in Personalize link, which I think can be done by editing the sub roles attached in EU_ROLE.
Cheers!!!

Reg:portal internationalization

hi all
i am working on portal internationalization,here my issue is how can i change the content which is available in table or application into target language.i am able to change just the i view names and field names of table but not the data .is there any procedure for changing the content to target language in portal.if any idea plz share with me.
regards
Deepika

Hi Deepika,
When we talk about data in the table, Its definitely not being stored in PCD. Portal Translation only help to translate content part of PCD.
For Data,
You can actually look for the backend(I mean the DATA SOURCE) and use the required translation method.
I hope, it answered your queries.

For Internationalization of Dynpro Applications, you need to maintain .xlf files as in the [tutorial|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c6cfad90-0201-0010-a5b8-8f9486346059].

Internationalization in Portals

Hi All,
I am trying to do an application in Internationalization in portals.
-> For that I have prepared the properties files and kept them in the dist\private\classes folder.
-> Written the code for accessing the resource bundle by using getString() method of ResourceBundle in doContent() method.
deployed the application.
-> then runned the application. but the text are not changing in the displayed page.
-> I have changed the language settings also.
Please help me in this regard..... im unable to fix the issue.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Bhavya,
Please check with the property file path once (looks like you missed the PORTAL-INF). Also try printing the values so that you get the idea where exactly the problem is.

Internationalization of standalone WebDynpro application(No Portal)

Hi,
I have a webdynpro application running on SAP WAS 7.0(NO portal).
Based on the request parameter, the application should show translated content. I am aware of the translation process using .xlf files. But how can a webdynpro application receive language parameter in request and show translated content?
regards,
Sujesh

Hi,
In WD4J via URL it is the parameter "sap-locale".
e.g. sap-locale=en
Regards,
Jürgen
PS: But be sure you did not set another language for the user in the user store (e.g. UME, LDAP, etc) because this has higher prio.

How to Internationalize Portal 8.1 Framework.

Hi All,
I have internationalized Contents in Portlet. But I want to implement this:
1. Will have one portlet - which is like language selection portlet.
2. All dektop name, page name would be in english before Language selection.
3. Once language is selected, then Desktop,book and page and portlet tiltles names
has to be changed according to selected language.
I have created different locales and set appropriate titles for Desktops/Pages/Portlte
through Portal Admin tool. If i change the primary language setting through
IE Browser and try to access the desktop, it works fine.
Can somebody throw me some input on how can I go about doing this??
Any pointers welcome.
TIA,
Prashanth Bhat.

thanks a lot Alex. It worked. If you need code, pls do let me know. I will send
it to you.
Thanks again,

Hi Prashanth,
I had a chance to go over this with our eng team this morning. Here is
what we
came up with:
You should consider creating a custom LocaleProvider. Here are the steps.
1) Write a class that implements com.bea.netuix.servlets.l10n.LocaleProvider.
The only required method is getLocales(ServletRequest request, ServletContext
context). Implement your functionality for selecting a locale in that
method (for
example: get a preferred locale from a request parameter).
2) Add <locale-provider>com.foo.bar.MyLocaleProvider</locale-provider>
to your
netuix-config.xml descriptor file. It should immediately follow the
<default-locale>
entry under <localization>
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I think, backing file wont work because, thelocalized
value(which
was set through Admin Portal) is stored in Database. We need to somehow
set the
"language" in Framework JSPs so that localization takes place properly.
If I change the browser setting it works fantastic. If i think in the
same dierection
, we have to find out the way, how and where this is extracted from"request"
object and localization is set.
If i get an answer, i let you know. Pls help me in resolving this ASAP.
Thanks again for your help,

Hi,
I will try to take a look at this in more detail tomorrow. However,I
think that
the answer may be around using either a backing file and programmatically
setting
the title on the portlet via PortletInstance or around setting the
locale
via
the LocalizationResource. You may want to experiment with backing files
in the
Tutorial App and check the JavaDocs on the two classes above.

Thanks for the reply. As i had mentioned in this mail, i can create

This
is all
working fine provided I cahnge the browser setting to map the languge
and make
that languge as Primary language.
My problem is I cannot expect the USER to set his browser setting
to
take this
effect. Rather I will give a choice to USER to select language andthis
is avaialable
in "request" object. I extraxct the language from request object
and
then the
localization has to effect.
Pls see my code here.
request = ScopedServletUtils.getOuterRequest(request);
String language = request.getParameter("language");
<i18n:localize language="<%= language %>"/>
This could be done for all JSPs which are mapped as Portlets. Butin
a simialr
fashion, where to put <i18n:localize language="<%= language %>"/>for
"FRAMEWORK
JSPs".
As i told earlier, I could able to localize portlets, but not portlet
tilte, desktop
title,book and page title.
Can somebody help me in doing this.

Portal pages tab internationalization

Hello all,
I noticed that weblogic portal doesn't provide a way (for pages
definition) to dynamically change (once the user is logged on) which
image file to use as the page's tab.
Here's my problem: in "myPortal" there's a requirement for a button
"change language", let's say next to the "logout" button. When the
change language button is pressed I want the page's content and also
the page default image (tab) to switch from english to whatever. These
images file name (e.g. default image name, rollover image name and
selected image name) specify in "myPortal.portal" are fixed within the
XML.
Anyone have a solution to bypass this weblogic constraint so I can
provide a fully internationalized portal ?
Tanks,
Christian
P.S. I can't associate a user with a language at login.

there are a couple of ways...
this is probably the most straight forward
portal supports the ability to have different skin or skeleton files to be used based off of locale. The images or JSPs reside in different directories. Each directory is name of the best match locale.
so you can have
skins/classic/ja/images - for japanese
skins/classic/fr/imagse - for french
you can do this for images, css and JSPs as you may actually whant to change the way text is displayed for each locale.
BTW - to change the actual text to being displayed you should be using a desktop and add localization resources to each page in the admin tools.
Also, by default the localProvider pulls the users prefered locales from the http request as set in the browser. If you want you can have that information come from anywhere (like a drop down list box) by writting you ownr LocalProvider

How to catch URL parameter from Portal URL in Web Dynpro iView

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro application running as a portal iView successfully. Now the client wants to make it internationalized with 7 languages. Currently they access the portal - and via role assignment they get to the portal tab with the wd iView. Now they want to send a parameter for the language key with the portal URL. So when they are typing in http://myportal.mydomain.com now they want to type in http://myportal.mydomain.com?sap-locale=de or so. My question is how can I catch this parameter in the WD application when it is running inside a portal iView? Is it at all possible?
I have written a very small application which is trying to catch a URL parameter named PARAM. The code I have written is the default one as below:
String paramValue = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("PARAM");
When I run the application standalone and add the PARAM=something in last of the URL I can catch it. But when I create an iView and while previewing it I add the same PARAM value it is coming as null all the time. Same when I add this iView to a role and show it via role assignment in protal. Please help to let me know how to achieve this. I think if I can read the parameter value from Portal URL in the WD iView - then I can set it as the default locale of the application and then show language specific file to achieve internationalization.
Your urgent help will be highly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Shubho

Hi Shubhadip
Even if you get the parameters, how do you internationalize your application? Are you not following the standard way as described in the following link. In this case you never need to capture any such parameter. This is done by the WD runtime automatically .
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm">Internationalization of WD projects</a>
You can retrieve application parameters specified at the creation of iview by "adding parameters(with the same name as in iview application parameters) to the default plug of the Component Interface View of the WD application". "onDefaultPlug" method of the interface view controller you get these values as parameters, which you can save in the context node of component controller for later use.This is guaranteed to work.
But again this is not what you want exactly. You want the user to specify the value at runtime. If you have just 7 languages, you can create 7 set of iviews with different application parameter value indicating language key, and assign to 7 different set of roles, each representing one set of users with common language.
I hope you find a solution.

Portal Content in Hindi ???

Hi All,
Please let me know if anyone has got a chance to display portal content in HINDI.
Thanks and Regards,
Sreeram

Hi,
I think we can display in webdynpro using internationalization. But portal will not automatically recognize the hindi script. You have to manually do that.
Check in SDN about internationalization in webdynpro.

Language Settings for Portal

Hi All:
How do we will enable translations for the custom iviews that we are developing.
For standard delivered iview when we turn switch for a specific language the headers ( the java labels ) are translated automatically.
Is there special settings in Java that needs to be enabled for translations.
Thanks
Rachel

Hi my friend:
That is an amazing document where you can learn and manage translations in your applications. See to the end of Document... See page 60.

How to internationalize Poll question

Hello
I am using Jdeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.4.0.
Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.4.0_GENERIC_101227.1736.5923
WebCenter Portal application.
Currently I want to use poll services in my pages. and everything is ok when using one language, but my polls need to support 2 languages.As I noticed the question text is saved in QUESTION_TEXT column in WC_SURVEY_QUESTION table. I did not find any solution to internationalize the same poll question. is it possible to internationalize the polls question. If yes, How can I do it?
any help will be highly appreciated.

You want to results to be included into the same resultset instead of having two seperate resultsets...
I think the best way to do this is to create your own taskflow using the poll data controll.
This way you can create the poll using the regular interface but you don't use the OOTB taskflow to show the poll.
When you display the questions and answers from the data control, you can call a resource bundle instead of adding the text you have defined when creating the poll.
For example when you create a poll you can say QUESTION_1 as the question and when you display the question you use #{bundle[row.question]} or something like that.
I think this is the best way to achieve what you want...
