bilingual QV application

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 13:38:50 GMT

Hi,

I'd like to create a bilingual QV application with the possibility to switch from Russian to English.

So I'd like to make all values in all the fields bilingual.

Example:

There's a fields 'Brands'. I'd like it to remain a single field, but I need all values in the field to have both Russian and English title.

Is it possible to create a bilingual field while loading the data and then be able to get either English or Russian title while operating on the forefront?

Thank you in advance,

Larisa

Larisa,

QV cannot translate actual data, but if a translation exists in your tables you can create a button to switch between the languages

It's clear.

The question is a bit different. Let's say that there's variable 'vLanguage' in my application with possible values 'Eng', 'Rus'.

Suppose, a user has selected 5 brands (in the Field 'Brand' in Russian), dispayed them on a chart and then switched to English by the means of the variable 'vLanguage'.

I want QlikView to automatically replace 5 selected Russian titles to the corresponding English ones.

Can I prepare my source data (the data model) so that it could be possible?

Here's a blog post that covers translations that I've used previously

I believe you want scenario 2. You'll essentially have to create a mapping table with the translated values and map them to your data model.
