Add Multilingual Properties

You can set multilingual properties for each of the entries in the portal.

You can add a name, screen tip, and description for each of the locales defined by your administrator. A locale specifies linguistic information and cultural conventions for character type, collation, format of date and time, currency unit, and messages.

If the entry has multilingual properties defined for the selected language, the entry shows the properties. If the entry does not have multilingual properties defined, they are empty.

For information about changing the language to be used by the portal, see Personalize the Portal.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Connection, click the set properties button Set properties icon next to the entry you want to change.
  2. Click the General tab.
  3. Under Language, select a language from the list.

    Languages that already have multilingual properties defined appear at the top of the list above a separator line.

  4. If you want, type a description in the Name, Description, and Screen tip box.

    The name appears in the list of portal entries. The description appears when you set your preferences to use the details view Personalize the Portal. The screen tip, which is limited to 100 characters, appears when you pause your pointer over the icon for the entry in the portal.

    Tip: To remove multilingual properties for a language, select the language in the list and click Remove values for this language.

  5. Click OK.
