One of the many good things about Oracle APEX is the builtin capability to create multilingual Applications. It gives you a set of tools to translate your Application and provide it in multiple languages at the same time.

One of the Key Components of this Translation Mechanism is the creation of an XLIFF File. This File contains all text strings of your Application (that is all your UI Strings, not your Data) and from which to which language it should be translated.

A couple of days ago i got an emergency call from someone who attended my presentation at DOAG 2010 about APEX Translations.

Apparently they deleted (by accident) their APEX Translations (which reside in WWV_FLOW_TRANSLATABLE_TEXT$) and have neither a DB-Backup of this table nor a Backup of the XLIFF Files.

One nagging thing about APEX occurs often to me. It’s the inability to customize the Workspace Login Page.

In APEX Instances within corporations you may want to display your own Logo or some custom text explaining your developers what to do and what not.

Do you know this: You just wanted to try something out and after a couple hours playing around with APEX you already have a pretty good application.

Problem is, you experimented on a demo-workspace or on apex.oracle.com and now want to move everything to your own personal development workspace.
