Example of dynamic translation (fr-ca)
Dynamic translations have to be entered manually through these pages. It would be nice to have the
option of using an API to update these values programatically, but none currently exists. In APEX 4.1,
there is a new view called APEX_APPLICATION_TRANS_DYNAMIC listing the content of dynamic
translations.
Translating APEX Internal Text
As previously mentioned, when you apply the translations that come with APEX, every one of the
internal APEX messages is translated. These messages include the Interactive reports menus, the help
menus, and the report paginations.
If you want to translate into a language that is not part of the ten included APEX languages, you'll
need to translate all the internal messages manually.
You can translate the internal messages by selecting Text Messages in the Shared Components of
the Globalization menu, shown in Figure 5-19. Other options exist in the Shared Components that link
to the exact same option: text message translation is also accessible in the Translate Application section
when selecting “Create and manage text messages”, “Manage Messages Repository”, “Create and
Manage messages callable from PL/SQL”, or “Optionally translate messages which are used by PL/SQL
procedures and functions.”
