If you are providing multiple dialects of the same language, then set one language as a base language, and then add the ISO 3166 country code for other versions. For example, you might set up Portuguese as “pt” for Iberian Portuguese and “pt_BR” for Brazilian Portuguese. Additional variation is also possible for regional variations within a country as a third element.

At runtime, Oracle Help will look for the user’s preferred language and
