Translating Feedback Types in APEX feedback forms

Oracle APEX (I’m talking about the current version, 4.2.5) has a nifty feature with which you can very easily add a simple feadback form to your application. Just add a new page and select the appropriate type and you’re kind of done.

However, if you are translating your application, you probably noticed that the form will be generated in English. (I’ll assume you develop your application in a language, not supported by APEX by default, such as Dutch.)

You can easily change the labels of the form items and be done with them. However, there’s a drop down list with types of feedback that aren’t translated yet.

To also translate those items, simply add new ‘Text Messages’ with these names: ‘BUG’, ‘GENERAL_COMMENT’ and ‘ENHANCEMENT_REQUEST’. When you have provided translations for these items, these labels will automatically be shown in the drop down list in the feedback form.
