Configuring the EMC Translation Files

When you add a new language or after Oracle Simphony has been upgraded, you need to import the translation files for each local language you want to use or that you have configured.

To configure translated text files for the EMC:

  1. Select the Enterprise, click Setup, and then click Languages.
  2. Double-click the language record to open it.
  3. Click the Translation tab.
  4. To access a standard translation file:
    1. In the Type drop-down list, select EMC Text.
    2. Click Import Standard Translation.
    3. In the Select translation field, select the EMC Text file corresponding to the standard language, and then click OK.

      For example, select EMCText_de.xml for German.

      If you do not import a standard translation file, the system uses the default English (EMCText.xml). The default English text file does not appear in the list.

    4. The Import Summary Report shows the number of fields that were successfully imported from the application server. Click the Exit button.

      The translated fields are listed in the Text Elements section of the Translation tab.

  5. To manually import a translation file for each language used:
    1. In the Type drop-down list, select EMC Text.
    2. Click Import from a File.
    3. Browse to the [Drive Letter]:\MICROS\Simphony2\EmcClient folder, select the language translation text file, and then click Open.
    4. Click Yes in the Translation dialog to proceed.
    5. The Import Summary Report shows the number of fields that were successfully imported from the application server. Click the Exit button.

      The translated fields are listed in the Text Elements section of the Translation tab.

  6. Click Save.
