Step 1: Map the Target Language

The first step in translating an application is to map the primary and target application language. The primary application is the application to be translated. The target application is the resulting translated application.

To map the primary and target application language:

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. Click Map your primary language application to a translated application.

   The Application Mappings page appears.

3. Click Create.

4. On the Translation Application Mapping page:

   • Translation Application - Enter a numeric application ID to identify the target application. The translated application ID must be an integer and cannot end in zero.

   • Translation Application Language Code - Select the language into which you are translating.

   • Image Directory - Enter the directory where the images currently reside.

     This attribute determines the virtual path for translated images. For example, if your primary language application had an image prefix of /i/, you could define additional virtual directories for other languages, such as /i/de/ for German or /i/es/ for Spanish.

     Note that this language specific image directory is typically not needed for most translated applications.
