Supporting Multiple Languages

A single analytic workspace can support multiple languages.This support enables users of OLAP applications and tools to view the metadata in their native languages. The number and choice of languages is restricted only by the database character set and your ability to provide translated text. Languages can be added or removed at any time.

To add support for multiple languages:

  1. In the navigation tree, expand the folder for the analytic workspace.

  2. Click the Languages folder, and select the languages for the analytic workspace on the General tab.

  3. For each dimension, level, hierarchy, attribute, cube, measure, and so forth, open the Translations tab of the property sheet. Enter the object labels and descriptions in each language.

  4. For each dimension, open the Mappings window. Map the attributes to columns for each language.
