Language Support for Picklists in Analytics
Analytics supports the display of picklist values in your user language in addition to the company’s default language. The following table lists the record types that support these picklists and the name of the picklist subfolders. Each subfolder contains a set of picklist fields that you can use to display the picklist values in your user language.

NOTE: The User record type does not always appear as the User dimension. Other dimension names used for the User record type are Approver, Final Approver, and Last Approved By. If a user record type is contained within another record type, then the user record type appears in the second level of the hierarchy as you would expect. However, the user-language picklist and the company picklist also appear in the second level of the hierarchy, not under the user record type.
To display the picklist values in the company language, you can continue to use the picklist fields that are under the standard dimension folders. Also the picklist fields, suffixed with the term Code, that were previously available under the main folder are now available under the subfolders (such as Account Picklist Fields (Code), Activity Picklist Fields (Code), and so on) with the suffix removed from the field names. You can continue to use these language independent code (LIC) fields and the optimized version of the base picklist fields in report filters to improve query performance.
In reports, picklist values appear in the user or company selected language. However, picklist fields that do not have a value selected in the user interface are displayed as shown in the following table. The behavior of the picklist value display depends on the type of picklist, which can be prebuilt or indexed custom.
The following table describes the behavior of the picklist value display for Historical Analytics subject areas.
