Configuring language for the Cognos TM1 server

Use the Language parameter in the Tm1s.cfg file to configure a specific language for the IBM® Cognos® TM1® Server.

About this task

The Language configuration parameter for the Cognos TM1 Server controls the language for messages generated by the server. The parameter also applies to the user interface of the dialog box when you run the server as an application instead of a Windows service.

For more details about the Cognos TM1 Server Language parameter, see Language parameter in the Tm1s.cfg file.

Note: If you want the Cognos TM1 Server to use a language based on a user account instead of the Language parameter, change the Microsoft Windows service that runs the Cognos TM1 Server to run as a specific user. For details, see Changing Cognos TM1 services to run as a specific user account on Windows.
