Internationalization of Attribute Labels

Attribute labels provide a method of attaching a meaningful label to a task mapped attribute. It can be desirable to present attribute labels that are translated into the appropriate language for the locale of the user.

To use a custom resource bundle, place it at the location identified by the workflow configuration parameter workflowCustomClasspathURL (which can be a file or HTTP path).

This can be set in either of two places in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control:

  • System MBean Browser page

  • Workflow Task Service Properties page

Entries for mapped attribute labels must be of the form:

FLEX_LABEL.[label name]=Label Display Name

For instance, the entry for a label named Location is:

FLEX_LABEL.Location=Location

Adding entries to these files for attribute labels is optional. If no entry is present in the file, the name of the attribute label as specified using the API is used instead.
