Lookup Localization

Lookup Localization

An Informatica Data Director application populates a list of acceptable values for columns that you configure in the Schema Manager as lookups. To create localized lookups, you require a localization table. When you create a lookup, use a unique display name. The Informatica Data Director cannot distinguish lookups with different codes that share the same display name.
Informatica Data Director also supports localization of the lookup display values. You can configure lookup display values in the Layout tab of the Informatica Data Director Configuration Manager for subject areas and subject area children.
For example, an Operational Reference Store has the following tables:
  • C_PARTY
  • C_LU_SALUTATION
  • C_LCL_SALUTATION
The C_PARTY table has salutation lookup code configured in the C_LU_SALUTATION table. For each salutation code, the display name might have a localized value configured in the C_LCL_SALUTATION table.
To generate the list of values for the locale of a particular user, the Informatica Data Director first searches for a lookup name in C_LCL_SALUTATION based on the locale. If the Informatica Data Director does not find a lookup name in C_LCL_SALUTATION, then it uses the lookup name from the SALUTATION_DISP lookup table.
The language code and country code determine the locale. The values for language code and country code are two-letter ISO codes.
The configuration for the previous scenario specifies that the column has localized lookup values and which table and columns are used. The following sample XML shows the configuration for the previous example: 
<column columnUid="C_PARTY|SALUTATION_CODE" 
        editStyle="FIELD" 
        horizontalStyle="SMALL"> 
  <columnI18NLookup languageCdUid="C_LCL_SALUTATION|LANGUAGE_CODE"
                    countryCdUid="C_LCL_SALUTATION|COUNTRY_CODE"
                    lookupFKUid="C_LCL_SALUTATION|SALUTATION_CODE"
                    localizedNameUid="C_LCL_SALUTATION|LOCALIZED_STRING"/>
</column>
