Adding Custom Translations to S_MSG Table
When you add custom objects to the metadata and choose to externalize these objects (by right-clicking on the object and checking the Externalize Display Name option), the Siebel Analytics Server looks for the translations (including those for the native language) in the S_MSG table.
If you do not externalize the display names, you do not need to perform the following procedures.
NOTE: However, the custom Presentation layer objects show up only in the native language of the metadata (the language in which you added these new objects).

- Adding String Translations For Siebel Analytics Metadata
Adding Lists of Values for Siebel Analytics
The S_MSG table can be populated using Siebel Tools. Before populating the S_MSG table, you must add a list of values (LOV) for Siebel Analytics (this is a one-time task).
To add LOV values for Siebel Analytics
- Open Siebel Tools and connect to your database.
- Navigate to the Screens Menu > System Administration > List of Values.
- Right-click and select New Record from the pop-up menu.
- Add a record with the following values.
- Add one more record, depending on your deployment, with the following values.
Adding String Translations For Siebel Analytics Metadata
The following procedure adds string translations for Siebel Analytics metadata to the S_MSG table.
To add string translations for Siebel Analytics metadata
- Navigate to Screens Menu > System Administration > Strings.
- Right-click and select New Record from the menu to add a new record.
- Obtain the Message Key from the Siebel Analytics Administration Tool.
To get the message key, right-click on the new Presentation layer metadata object and select Properties from the menu. The Message key is displayed in the dialog box under Custom Display Name. The Message key is the part that starts with CN_.
For example, double-click on the Pipeline catalog folder in the Presentation layer. The Custom Display name is Valueof(NQ_SESSION.CN_Pipeline). CN_Pipeline is the Message Key.
- Select your deployment language.
- Choose the Message type—Metadata or FINS_Metadata, depending on which one was added in Step 5 of To add LOV values for Siebel Analytics.
- Select AnalyticsNew Message Level.
- In the Message Text column, add the translation of the object.
- Translate & Active Flags should be on.
- Error Message # is 0.
- Set the Message Facility to SIA if you are using the Siebel Financial Services application. Otherwise, set it to HORZ.
- Repeat Steps 2-10 for each new metadata object string.
- Restart the Siebel Analytics Server.
