Applying an Uploaded XLIFF Document and Publishing an Application

After you upload an XLIFF document, the next step is to apply the XLIFF document and then publish the translated application. When you apply an XLIFF document, the Application Express engine parses the file and then updates the translation tables with the new translatable text.

Publishing your application creates a copy of the base language application, substituting the translated text strings from your translations table. This published application can then be used to render your application in alternate languages.

Remember that in order to run an application in an alternative language, you must run it with globalization settings that will cause an alternative language version to display. For example, if the language is derived from the browser language, you must set the browser language to the same language as the translated application.

To apply a translated XLIFF document and publish the application:

1. Navigate to the Translate Application page:

   1. On the Workspace home page, click the Application Builder icon.

   2. Select an application.

   3. Click Shared Components.

   4. Under Globalization, click Translate Application.

      The Translate Application page appears.

3. In the XLIFF Files repository, click the XLIFF document title for the XLIFF document you wish to apply.

4. From Apply to, select the appropriate primary and target application ID map.

5. Click Apply XLIFF Translation File.

6. Click Publish Application.

Deleting an Uploaded XLIFF Document

To delete an uploaded XLIFF document:

1. Navigate to the Translate Application page:

   1. On the Workspace home page, click the Application Builder icon.

   2. Select an application.

   3. Click Shared Components.

   4. Under Globalization, click Translate Application.

      The Translate Application page appears.

2. On the Translate Application page, select Apply your translation file and publish.

3. In the XLIFF Files repository, select the check box to the left of the document title.

4. Click Delete Checked.

You should verify the existence of the translated application after it is published. Translated applications do not display in the Available Applications list on the Application Builder home page. Instead, use the Application Navigate list on the left side of the page.

Note that in order for a translated application to appear in Application Builder, you must make sure that you have correctly configured the application Globalization attributes.
