Overview

Oracle CPQ helps you prepare your application for an international roll-out by allowing you to manage all of your translations through Bulk Upload and Download. From here, you can download all commerce and configuration translations in CSV format, have someone translate it, and finally re-upload it to CPQ. You will be able to filter by language and Oracle CPQ module (currently Commerce or Configuration).

Administration

The typical use case will be to download the translation file(s) first.

Downloading Translations

1. Navigate to the Download Categories List page.

   1. Click Admin to go to the Admin Home Page.

   2. Click Download under Bulk Data Services in the Utilities section.

      The Download Categories List page opens.

2. Select the Translations radio button and click Next.

   The Search Criteria page opens.

   Continue with Step 5 if you do not need to filter your results based on language or Oracle CPQ module.

3. Select the Language you would like to download from the Language drop-down.

   

4. Select an Oracle CPQ module(s) from the drop-down.

   The selections include: Commerce, Configuration, Part and Part Extended [Descriptions], Part Associations, Part Custom Fields, Serial Number, Serial Number Custom Fields and Price Books.

   

5. Click Download.

6. Click the Translation file from the Download Status window.

   

7. Unzip (or Save and then Unzip) the file.

8. Double-click the CSV file to open it.

   Rename and save your file before making any changes.

9. Translate your content.

   There are columns for the module, a contextual aid to assist the translator (so they know how it should be translated), the element being translated (is it a label, description, and so on), as well as what needs to be translated.

   Example of Commerce:
