Language settings
You can select the language that you prefer for the IBM® Cognos® Analytics user interface. If your data and reports are available in multiple languages, you can also select the language that you prefer for the content. Make your selections in My preferences.
To change the language setting, close all your open items first, select the language in My preferences, close My preferences, and refresh your browser. The new language setting takes effect.
There is also support for bidirectional languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu, and Farsi. Report authors can control the display of native digits and the direction of text, crosstabs, and charts. For more information about support for bidirectional languages in reporting, see Support for bidirectional languages.
For general information about language settings, see the IBM Cognos Analytics Administration and Security Guide.
