Chand,

For localization of the UI, your localized string will be stored in the resource bundles and Java localization principle should apply. For internationalization of application (translation of your contents), your database must support Unicode.

Thanks,

Thanks. was very useful

We tested with french it worked, just changed startofbiz.bat
java parameter to fr

   Can some please be requested to guide me to the person
who worked on chinese or japanese but he also might have
faced the same issue since it is non-Latin languages.

I was guided from another group to do following for Indic
languages ( Indian ) localization. Do I need to this also
for database.

1. Create a Oracle9i database having UTF8 characterset.
2. Use NVACHAR datatype to stotes the Unicode data i.e.
Hindi Data. For storing this data you have to set-up your
front-end / client accordingly...
3. Using NVARCHAR datatype will use the Database National
Character Set for storage and it will store Multi-byte
characters in less storage.
4. Once your data is stored, you can not see them via sql+
like we use for English characters. For that, you have to
use isql+. You need to configure that.
5. The best part is that, configuring database in above
character set also stores ENGLISH....as well as Mutibyte
character sets like HINDI, Japanese, etc.


Take a look at this it should tell you how translations
are done:
