TRANSLATE (arg1, arg2, arg3) returns a string that is a copy of arg1, except that every character found in arg2 is changed to the corresponding character in arg3.
In this example, 'X' is the 1st character in arg2, so every 'X' is changed to the 1st character in arg3, that is, 'A'.
If you don't understand how TRANSLATE works, it would be more helpful for you to start with an example where arg2 and arg3 have more than 1 distinct characters. The SQL language manual has an example like that (see Manik's message); Ramin posted another example above.
If you don't understand how the description in the SQL manual applies to a particular problem, say exactly what you don't understand. For example "I expected TRANSLATE ('XXXX', 'X', 'ABCD') to return ...because ... but it returns 'AAAA'. That seems to contradict the manual, which says ... "

Basically ifyou were on a e mail or website that was in a different language you just hit this and it translated it no highlighting no cut and paste HELP I am an american living in a foreign country and am desperate

That was probably from the "Google Toolbar".

You can avoid the overhead, care and feeding of extensions and other problems of extensions with a '''bookmarklet''' which has a '''keyword''' to invoke it directly from the Location Bar.
'''Name:''' tr: translate from (fr, de, etc.)

Office 2010 build-in translate function not work

Hi there,
The Office 2010 translate function is not work on user's desktop, word/outlook/excel, none of them working. It was working before. at that time, I can simply select a word, right click and then select translate, from the right side pane, I can select from
English to Chinese, and then give me the detail translation information of the word. But suddenly, this function was not working anymore and we did not change anything on MS Office. When I did the same steps, it shows no results were found.
When I check the translation options, it shows English to Chinese is selected under available language pairs. The weird thing is, when I change the translation setting to from Dutch to Chinese, it translated to Chinese with the very simple result. so any idea
to get it fixed?
Regards,
David

Hi David,
Please first make sure your Office 2010 is fully patched. In addition, we can try to run a repair of your Office installtion to check the result:

Using translate function to correct character set problem....

I have a table(TBL_STOCK) on Oracle XE.
Rows come from sql server 2005 with a trigger on sql server table via the linked server.
But there is a character set problem with some character like İ,Ş,Ğ.
They change to Ý,Þ,Ð. in Oracle.
How can i correct these ? Do you suggest the TRANSLATE function ?
What do u think, if i create an After Insert trigger on Oracle table(TBL_STOCK) and convert these character using the Translate function when they inserted from sql server.
Anyone have any other ideas that can be more efficient. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Adam
PS:The NLS_CHARACTERSET of Oracle is AL32UTF8.

It is sql server 2005 and Collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Using Translate() function of XSLT ...

Hi guys
I have an xml document that i am converting into an html document using XSLT. I need to replace the XML new lines(&#10) with html new lines ( ) while the xslt transform takes place on my xml document.
For this I have found the translate function of XSLT but I need to use it on a specific tag and not all the tags in the xml document.
<ExampleTag>
1 first line
2 second line
3 third line
</ExampleTag>
translate(string, replaced_text, replacement_text)
so I need to get my tags value in the variable string which is:
1 first line
2 second line
3 third line
and replaced_text: '&#10' and replacement_text: ' '
but the problem is XSLT syntax is so bad that i just cant devote enough time to learn it. Any suggestions for the syntax guys?? an example would be extremely useful.
cheers :)

Hey
after a bit of struggle came up with this:
<xsl:template match="ExampleTag">
<xsl:variable name="string" select="."> </xsl:variable>
translate(string, "&#10", "" )
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
</xsl:template>
but its not working :(
any suggestions??

Problem with translate function (C++ parser v9)?

When upgrading to v9 of the C++ parser, we notice a problem with the translate function within xsl stylesheets. Take the following snippet :-
<StartDt><xsl:value-of select="translate(string(CheckInDate),'-','')"/></StartDt>
Previously, this statement would strip the '-' chars from our input dates of the form 2002-05-02 to give 20020502. It now does not replace the '-' chars which causes our transformed output to be invalid. We have many developed and tested xsl's which now don't work.
When we revert to v8, the same xsl's work correctly.
This happens on all platforms (Windows/Linux/Solaris).
Anyone else noticed this?
Regards,
Mike

It worked for me as well.
Use DUMP to find out the char code used for é and ú and try to replace these character codes.
On my system it is 130 and 163
SELECT TRANSLATE('héllú wúrld', 'éú', 'eu'),
 dump('héllú wúrld'),
 TRANSLATE('héllú wúrld', chr(130)||chr(163), 'eu')
FROM dual;
hellu wurld
Typ=96 Len=11: 104,130,108,108,163,32,119,163,114,108,100
hellu wurld

Using translate function for one to many character translation

Hi friends!
Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to use built in translate function for converting some text from a one alphabet to another one, if these alphabets are of different length. Something like
SELECT TRANSLATE('текст',
'АБВГДЕЕЖЗИКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЭЮЯ',
'ABCGDEF"*GH*"HIJKLMNOPQRSTYVWXYZ') FROM dual;
Or there is another function for this, or it is impossible?
Thanks

Hi,
Maybe you could use REPLACE just once, and then TRANSLATE the rest?
Something like:
SELECT TRANSLATE(REPLACE('ABcDE', 'c', 'xz'),
                 'ABCDE',
                 'abcde') from dual;
TRANSLATE(REPLACE('ABCDE','C','XZ'),'ABCDE','ABCDE')
abxzde
1 row selected.Regards

Translate() function in an xpath predicate

I'm trying to use the translate() function in an xpath predicate, and it appears to be having no effect. For instance, I have the following XML document (abbreviated for clarity):
<metadata>
<baseObject>
<PublicationTime>2003-06-30T21:45:56Z</PublicationTime>
</baseObject>
</metadata>
The following xpath expression returns no nodes:
metadata[translate(baseObject/PublicationTime, "-:TZ", "") = "20030630214556"]
But this next expression does return a node:
metadata[translate(baseObject/PublicationTime, "-:TZ", "") = "2003-06-30T21:45:56Z"]
It appears to me that the translate function is not removing the -, :, T, and Z characters as would be expected. Am I misunderstanding the usage of the translate function, making an error in my xpath expression, or is there some other explanation?
Thanks.

I thought the explanation was clear enough the first time.
what is the Mistake in my script.There is no mistake in your script.
There is no mistake in the output spewed by Oracle.
It is as per documentation.
Check the documentation to get a better grasp of this concept:
