Localization of BI Content

You can use the Device Locale setting to determine how BI content is rendered on the iPad.

You can specify localization of BI content through the Oracle BI Presentation Services server (with Device Locale set to OFF) or through the iOS default (Device Locale set to ON). Localization of the application shell (that is, the Home page, the toolbar, and so on) is always controlled by the iOS.

Note:

The standard behavior of Apple's mobile operating system requires that the application shell user interface be changed only through the Apple iOS Settings application and not by the Oracle BI Mobile application. The Device Locale toggle in the Oracle BI Mobile application changes the language of the BI content, but not the application shell user interface.

Bi-Directional Text and the Oracle BI Mobile Client Shell User Interface

It is important to note, if you intend to use the Oracle BI Mobile application with a right-to-left language such as Hebrew or Arabic, the client shell user interface cannot show the layout correctly.
