There are two options for adding translated templates to your report definition:
• Create a separate RTF template that is translated (a localized template)
This option is useful if the translated template requires a different layout for each language.
• Generate an XLIFF file from the original template (at runtime the original template is applied for the layout and the XLIFF file is applied for the translation)
If the layout of the report is same for all languages and if we only require translation of the text strings of the template layout, use the XLIFF option.
1. Localized Template Approach
• Enable the languages that we need the translation for(System Administrator> Install > Languages)
• Create different templates for languages with different layouts. E.g. one for English and one for Arabic.
• Register the template in Oracle with the same name and short name as the concurrent program. ( XML Publisher Administrator>Templates)
• Click on Add File and then browse to file location.
• Select the file and corresponding language.
• We need to add as many files as there are to be translations.
2. XLIFF File Approach
• XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) : format for exchanging localization data.
• XML-based format that enables translators to concentrate on the text to be translated.
• We use this option when we want to use the same layout and apply specific translation.
Creating an XLIFF file from an RTF template
• Open the template in Microsoft Word with the Template Builder for Word
• Select Tools > Translations > Extract Text.
• BI Publisher extracts the translatable strings from the template and exports them to an XLIFF (.xlf) file.
• This XLIFF file can then be sent to a translation provider, or using a text editor, we can enter the translation for each string.
Sample translations list for XLIFF file
• A separate XLIFF file is created for every language translation we need.
• If we are going to translate the base source tags into 2 languages, Say French and Spanish. So that when we run the report for French and Spanish the report will be translated as per the language.
• The assumption is that these language packs are already installed in Oracle.
• Following is a sample list of all the translations of the tags is shown in the below table.
Uploading a translation in Oracle Apps E – Business Suite

• Click the Enable button to enable a translation. Only enabled translations are available to the Concurrent Manager. Both complete and incomplete translations can be enabled.
• To download a translation file, select its Export Translation icon to download the XLIFF file for editing.
