Process of Maintaining Translation Tables for Siebel Analytics

---

The Siebel Analytics Presentation layer supports multiple translations for any column name. When working with Siebel Answers or rendering a dashboard, English-speaking and French-speaking users see their local language strings in their reports. There are two kinds of application strings requiring translation in Siebel Analytics:

• Metadata

  Metadata strings are Analytics-created objects in the Siebel Analytics repository such as Subject Area, Metrics, and Dimensions.

• Web Catalog

  Web Catalog objects are end-user created objects such as Reports, Dashboards, and Pages. Translations for Web catalog strings are stored in the SiebelAnalytics.webcat file. For more information on accessing these strings and changing the translations, see Siebel Analytics Web Administration Guide.

This section describes the following tasks:

• Externalizing Metadata Strings
• Using the Externalize Strings Utility for Localization
• Adding Custom Translations to S_MSG Table
• Editing Custom Labels
