Design of a Translation Tool for Oracle Products

Kevin Wharton, Oracle Corporation

An important aspect of National Language Support is the ability of software to communicate with an end-user in their native language. Applications communicate with end-users by displaying messages on their computer terminals. With Oracle products, such messages can originate from two sources: the system software (E.g., Oracle Forms), and the application (E.g., a Forms application). To support multiple languages, message text is externalized such that multiple versions can be created, one for each language. The next step is to provide a tool to enable the text to be translated. This article describes the tool being developed by Oracle to assist such translation, the Translation Management WorkBench (TM*WorkBench).
