Localize Catalog Captions

As an administrator, you can localize the names of reporting objects, or captions, that users create in the catalog. For example, you might localize the names of dashboards and analyses into Spanish and French.

To localize object names in the catalog, export the captions from the catalog, localize them, and upload back to the catalog.

1. Export the default captions to an XML file.

2. Localize the downloaded XML file.

3. Upload the localized XML file.

After translated caption XML is uploaded, the new strings take effect once the cache refreshes. Translated strings are protected during an upgrade.

3. Click Browse and select the folder you want to localize in the catalog, then click OK.
