Example - Change the Language of the IBM Cognos Viewer User Interface

When you view content, such as reports, in IBM® Cognos® Viewer in a language other than English, French, German, or Japanese, you may want to see the IBM Cognos Viewer user interface in the same language.

This requires changing the product language in IBM Cognos Viewer using IBM Cognos Configuration, and later selecting this language in IBM Cognos Connection. Ensure that IBM Cognos Viewer is translated into the language you want to use.

Suppose you want to change the IBM Cognos Viewer user interface to Greek for users of reports in Greek. At the same time, you want the user interface of other IBM Cognos components, such as IBM Cognos Connection and the studios, appear in French. To make these changes, perform the procedures to add a new product language and a new product locale mapping.
