PM10939: Expression locale instead of content locale is used for translation of root member in a tree prompt

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a DMR, the member can be translated in Framework
  Manager. This is the case when using the Cognos 8 Sample package
  "GO Data Warehouse (analysis)".  You can verify the translation
  either in the Report Studio user interface (Insertable Objects >
  Source Tab) or when run the report (add the member to a
  crosstab).  When using the root member in a tree prompt, the
  translation is not correct. Instead of the content local, the
  root member is translated using the expressionLocale of the
  Report Spec. When change the report design locale (File > Report
  Package > Language) the selected locale will be used to
  translate the root member within the tree prompt.  This issue
  only occurs in a tree prompt - not in the result in a crosstab.
  As well, only the root member is affected. All other members
  will be translated correct.   This behavior appears also in
  Query Studio. This behavior is reproducible in the following
  version:  Cognos 8 BI 8.4.1 FP1
