Then open the caption file in the production environment in a text editor or XML editing tool and manually and very carefully insert the changes that were made in the development environment.

15.2.3 Tip for Arabic and Hebrew in Mozilla Firefox Browsers

By default, scroll bars are displayed on the right side of the Mozilla Firefox browser. If you are using the Arabic or Hebrew languages, then it is not appropriate to have the scroll bars on the right side. You can change the browser settings in Firefox such that the scroll bars are displayed on the left side. For information about changing the layout.scrollbar.side setting, see the Firefox documentation.

15.3 Setting the Current Locale in Catalog Manager

When you use Catalog Manager, you can specify the locale to use for its user interface elements and for objects in the catalog. These locales can be the same or different. The user interface elements are available in 10 locales, and the catalog content for certain applications is available in 28 locales. You can see the user interface elements of Catalog Manager dialogs, menus, and so on in any of the 10 locales in which it is available. Certain areas of Catalog Manager, 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 Setting the Current Locale in the Oracle BI Server

The following sections provide information about setting the locale in Oracle BI Server: ■ Section 15.4.1, Setting Locale Parameters on the Oracle BI Server ■ Section 15.4.2, Understanding How the Error Message Language Is Determined ■ Section 15.4.3, Troubleshooting the Current Locale in the Oracle BI Server

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 15-14 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition applications. Some locale- and language-related settings are interrelated and help determine how the Oracle BI Server sorts data.

15.4.1.1 Setting the Locale on UNIX Systems

The value to use for the C-run-time locale during server startup is specified in the SORT_ORDER_LOCALE parameter in the NQSConfig.INI file. This parameter is set normally by the Oracle BI Server. The locale is used for functions such as displaying dates and currencies and sorting data. If you must adjust the setting, then in the General section of the NQSConfig.INI file, set the LOCALE and SORT_ORDER_LOCALE parameters, entering a platform-independent name as shown in Table 15–2 . Table 15–2 shows language mappings from the platform-independent name to the specific name for each of the supported UNIX platforms. For example, Chinese uses the setting zh_CN.utf8 on HP-UX or Linux operating systems. Name strings such as zh_CN.utf8 and fr-FR-UTF-8 are the platform-specific names of the locale components, which must be installed by a system administrator. The NQSConfig.INI file uses the platform-independent names, such as Chinese or French the names are case-insensitive.
