Localization Editor

The Localization Editor allows you to manage multiple translations for the display of transaction names and dynamic fields in the Oracle Insurance Policy Administration (OIPA) system.  You can create locales and add and edit existing translations.  You can also set decimal displays for currencies.

 

When you create a locale, you associate it with a particular country.  Within those various locales, you can assign a translation value to the transaction names and dynamic fields.  When a user is assigned a specific OIPA security group, the user is also associated with a locale.  The locale selected will determine what language the transaction names and dynamic fields will display in when populated in the OIPA system.  Translation values are stored in the AsTranslation table.

 

The Localization Editor is accessed from the Tools tab of the Main Menu.

Transactions

Transactions have an additional method for assigning translation.  When you check-in a new transaction, you will be prompted with a translation window.  It will list all of the locales created through the Localization Editor and will provide a place for you to enter the translation of the transaction name for each locale.  If you do not enter a translation for each locale, you will continue to be prompted with this window every time you check-in the transaction.  The information you enter in this window can be updated through the Localization Editor.
