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. .
