[SOLVED] BI Portal, change tab names

Hi!

The scenario is as follows:

-Our client needs to translate their whole production portal deployments (only 2 portals, actually) to several languages.

-We set everything so we're able to retrieve the user selected language by means of &IBIWF_language.

-The portals theirselfs have several tabs, which were developed by means of HtmlComposer html pages, which we will be able to translate (I guess).

Yet, I wonder how to change the tab names itself to be in the language the user selected.


Is there any way to accomplish this that does not rely on traversing the dom in runtime with jquery?

[btw, I bet a beer with my coworkers that Francis Mariani would be the one to answer. Don't let me down, Francis!]

I do not see any documentation for "WebFOCUS National Language Support" for B.I. Portal in WF 8.0.08.

It doesn't appear the WF 8.1.05M documentation has anything.

I'm forbidden from seeing the WF 8.2.01 documentation.

glezo,

are the tabs that need to be translated a part of the Portal or the HTML called by the Portal?

a part of the portal, created with the "Edit portal" web application.

btw: if it helps, the version we're using is 8.0.08

thanks!

I'm SO, SO fool.

In the BIPortal page, just right click a portal, translations, and you can find a nice xml file.
Manually editing that xml is just fine for what we need, so I'll close this topic.

Thank u so much anyway!

So, you can simply add different language tags and based on the language selected on the server (?) the appropriate labels are displayed?

<translation id="PAGE-ICQAGS5F1VEDCJV8I4837" language="en_US" key="name" value="Deployment"/>
<translation id="PAGE-ICQAGS5F1VEDCJV8I4837" language="fr" key="name" value="Déploiement"/>

This is very interesting! So I stand corrected.

Did you find documentation on this?

Hi, Francis!

I have my WebFOCUS client configured as multilanguage, with both english and spanish marked as offered to the user.
Due to this, the xml displayed has entries for en_US and es_ES.
Just by editing the value fields of the xml and selecting a different language, it reloads the portal with the selected language.

Yet, have into account that, as of 8.0.08, the amount of portal languages is quite limited. There's not options for catalán, euskera and some others we need.

I actually didnt find any documentation about this on the official pdf papers (for version 8.1.5, if I recall)

That indeed is interesting. I guess I never noticed that translations option in the portal, thanks for that tidbit! Also thanks for the language lesson, I had to Google Euskera Smiler.

Glezo, to close out the request please edit your original post and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the title.

FYI - be aware that changing the translations XML can throw the portal out of sync with the repository tables. Make sure no one else is making any changes while you're updating the file. And back up your repository before changing the translations.xml.
