The Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation layer supports multiple translations for any column name. When working with Oracle BI Answers or rendering a dashboard, users see their local language strings in their reports.
For example, English-speaking and French-speaking users would see their local language strings in their reports. There are two kinds of application strings requiring translation:
Metadata
Metadata strings are analytics-created objects in the repository such as subject areas, metrics, and dimensions.
Presentation Services
Presentation Services objects are end-user created objects such as reports, dashboards, and pages. Translations for Presentation Services strings are stored in the XML caption files. For more information on accessing these strings and changing the translations, see Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide.
