When storing the form in the database, all presentational literals (as well as bitmaps I think) are stored in the ROS tables (Resource Object Store).
Unfortunately the literals themself get stored in the table: rosstrings in the LONG RAW field str in Hex code,
so it is rather difficult to search for an applikation using a certain literal not to mention changing the value to support an other language.

Oracle tels us however that a new product replacing NLS-Workbenck called something like Translation Manager, could do the job

Would sure be nice.
