Click OK. Step 2: Exporting Text Strings in the Catalog

Localizing Oracle Business Intelligence 15-13 such as data handling, are not yet translated or localized. Catalog Manager uses the following process to decide which locale to display: 1. Check for the setting of the -nl locale parameter when Catalog Manager is started. You set this parameter as part of the CATMAN_VMARGS variable in the runcat.cmd or runcat.sh file, as shown in the following examples: set CATMAN_VMARGS=-nl fr -vmargs -Xmx1024M -Dosgi.clean=true set CATMAN_VMARGS=-nl fr_CA -vmargs -Xmx1024M -Dosgi.clean=true 2. Check for the default locale for Java, as specified on your computer. 3. Using the default locale of English specifically, en_US. When you start Catalog Manager and open a catalog in online mode, you can select the locale for viewing the contents of the catalog. The locales that are available for selection depend on the following criteria. Catalog Manager uses this selection for subsequent online connections. ■ Whether that locale was selected for Presentation Services during the installation process. ■ Whether the contents of the catalog have been translated for a specified locale. If translated files are not available for that locale, then the contents are displayed in the default locale of English specifically, en_US. For more information on Catalog Manager, see Section 17.3, About Catalog Manager.

15.4.1 Setting Locale Parameters on the Oracle BI Server

To support multiple languages, the Oracle BI Server must be configured properly. The General section of the NQSConfig.INI file contains parameters that are required for localization and internationalization. It also contains default parameters that determine how data is sent from the Oracle BI Server to a client application. See Appendix A, NQSConfig.INI File Configuration Settings for complete information about these parameters. The following parameters in the NQSConfig.INI file affect localization: ■ LOCALE ■ SORT_ORDER_LOCALE ■ SORT_TYPE ■ CASE_SENSITIVE_CHARACTER_COMPARISON To successfully run Oracle Business Intelligence, ensure that you configure the appropriate locales on your operating system for the language in which users run the
