Fixed: Oracle BI Publisher Template XLF Translation File Upload Error

July 3, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I have been working on BI Publisher templates and the XLF Language Translations at work. I found a nice bug where a user uploads a XLF template translation and Oracle gives an Error that does not match the actual problem that caused the error.

Conditions

  • Oracle BI Publisher or XML Publisher module in Oracle E-Business suite R12
  • XLF Template Language Translation files

Symptoms

  • BI Publisher gives error as seen below
  • Unable to upload XLF Translation file
The uploaded translation file is invalid. It should specify a valid target language and territory. Please verify that the file is in the correct format.

Problem

  • Original Oracle Translation file exported specifying UTF-8 encoding
  • Edited translation files actually use ISO-8859-1 encoding

Solution

  • Change XLF Specified Encoding from utf-8 to ISO-8859-1
