Caption attribute

A Caption attribute is a type of attribute that is required for every object that you want to translate (such as for a cube, dimension, member, and so on).

Caption attributes are created through the TurboIntegrator process. When you create Caption attributes, they must be set up as an alias type with unique locale-specific values.

Planning Analytics Workspace then uses the browser language settings to determine which language to display. You can see objects in that language without needing any additional configuration.

Language locale codes and behavior of the Caption attribute

International language codes that are defined by ISO 639-1 are used to identify major languages and IETF language tags to identify specific locales. For example, fr identifies French, while fr-CA identifies French (Canada).

You can assign Caption attribute values for major language codes, such as fr, as well as any associated specific locales, such as fr-Fr or fr-CA.

If a Caption attribute value does not exist for a given specific locale, the value of the associated major language code is retrieved. For example, if a Caption attribute value does not exist for pt-BR, the value for pt is retrieved.

If no values are found for a Caption attribute, the base default attribute value is returned.

You can see which ISO 639-1/IETF combinations are supported in the }Cultures control dimension.
