We are implementing a new language (German) in EBS. Which report elements in Blitz Report support multi-language translation, and how do I access the translation feature for them?

    If you have multiple languages installed in EBS, Blitz Report supports multi-language functionality for several elements via the Oracle EBS translation menu icon . The translatable elements include the Report Name, Report Description, Parameter Name, Parameter Description, Category, LOV Description, and Column Headers . You access the translation form by clicking the globe icon typically available in the EBS Forms menu when viewing these fields .

  • If I need to provide translations for technical interface labels, like ‘Run’ button or titles on the Blitz Report run window itself, where is this done?

  • Support Enginatics

    Translations for user interface labels shown directly on the Blitz Report run window (the user interface) are managed via Application Developer Lookups . You need to query the lookup `XXEN_REPORT_TRANSLATIONS` under Application Object Library and enter translations for the lookup code descriptions as required .

  • We use custom error messages defined in FND messages (starting with XXEN) within our PL/SQL procedures. How do we translate those messages for end-users?

  • Support Enginatics

    To add translations for user-facing messages, you must navigate to Application Developer > Application > Messages . Query the messages starting with `XXEN` and then add the corresponding translations for the different languages installed in your system .

  • After installing the German language pack, what additional concurrent program must be run specifically for Blitz Report multilingual tables?

  • Support Enginatics

    After running the standard `adadmin` ‘Maintain multi-lingual tables’ process following the installation of a new language, you must also run the concurrent request ‘Blitz Report Maintain Multilingual Tables’ . This ensures that all Blitz Report-specific multilingual data is properly synchronized .

  • What is the simplest way to disable the automated column header translation for a specific report?

  • Support Enginatics

    To disable the automated column header translation for all reports system-wide, you can set the profile option ‘Blitz Report Disable Column Translations’ to ‘Yes’ . If you only need to disable it for a single report, you may need to ensure no specific translation is set for the report’s columns, or clone the report and manage the headers manually, although the profile option affects automatic translation functionality globally , .
