Data Translation

IBM OpenPages® with Watson™ contains static and application (instance) data.

Generally, all static data is translated either through the reporting framework or by the report while application data is not translated, with the exception of enumerated strings.

The language in which a user views this data is based on the user’s locale setting which is set in OpenPages with Watson when the user is created or later modified. This is what determines how the report will be translated.

It is possible to set the user’s locale in the IBM® Cognos® Analytics, which would separate it from the locale set in the OpenPages with Watson application. This is typically done by the report author to leave a particular user with one locale in the OpenPages with Watson application and another locale when using reports. See Setting your Locale in IBM Cognos Analytics.
