Translating an application - button not translating

Question

Hi
I am working on translating an application from English into French. I have a button wich I need to
translate - the button should say 'Go' in English and 'Allez' in French.
Here is a segment of the code I use to generate the button. It calls HTMLDB_LANG.MESSAGE to
determine what to display:
'||HTMLDB_LANG.MESSAGE('GO_BUTTON')||'
I have set up Text Messages called 'GO_BUTTON' which for the English one display 'Go' and the
French display 'Allez'.
I have a field which controls the current language called P0_LANG. I have a link on the form that
allows the user to toggle between English and French. When this link is clicked, an application process
is called which does the following:
BEGIN
IF nvl(:P0_LANG,'en')='fr' THEN
:P0_LANG:='en';
ELSE
:P0_LANG:='fr';
END IF;
HTMLDB_UTIL.SET_PREFERENCE ('FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE',:P0_LANG,:FLOW_USER);
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':'||:APP_PAGE_ID||':'||:SESSION);
END;
In globalisation options, I have 'Application language derived from' set to 'Application Preference (use
FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE)'.
However when I toggle the language into French, the button shows no sign of changing to 'Allez'.
Other parts of the app that I've translated in the XLIFF file translate fine.
Any ideas why this isn't working?
Thanks
Simon

Arie,
I tried this but get the following error:

Here is the full section of code I am using:
