A field translator should be created to encode user input for transmission to the host system, and to decode output received from the host system. The compiled field translator should be named FieldTranslator.class, with the same suffix as the one added to the related resource file.

For example, the properties file for the French language in Canada would be called ViewResources_fr_CA.properties. Therefore the field translator would be named FieldTranslator_fr_CA.java.

Ensure the field translator installation location is set in the classpath so that it is accessible by the Presentation Client.
