Greetings,

We will be embarking on a project next year to migrate an existing
English-language Oracle Forms based application to French. Just
looking for some ideas on development and/or implementation tools that
may help us in the task.

Thanks

Forms 6i: Translation Builder.

Forms 9i/10g: Translation Hub.

(The literals must be translated by hand anyway).

HTH.

Cheers.

Carlos.

To the greatest extent possible store strings inside the database and
read them into the form before making it visible to the end-user. Only
hard code that which absolutely must be hard coded. Use an environment
variable to determine the language choice of the end-user.

Write once: Use many times.

Next year it will be Spanish, or German, or Italian, ....
