Dashboard Multi-Language Support

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 01:40:09 GMT

Does anyone have any experience of producing Qlikview dashboards in multiple languages? How did you go about this? Republishing the same report multiple times in multiple languages seems like it could be a maintenance headache to me.

Obviously this is specifically for chart labels, axis labels etc. vs. data. If anyone has some best practice on enabling this I'd love to hear it!

Cheers
Matt

Havnt actually done it but as Labels can be expressions id be inclined to add fields to create the lables the label expression could be along the lines of = [QTY_French]

then simple Document Variables

QTY_French = 'abc',
QTY_German = 'XYZ,

the Language selection could be made more Dynamic ie a listbox setting a document Language from an inline language Table and the Label expression using this Variable to build the TranslationVariable to Look up Ie = 'QTY'&'_'&Language

The label expression Could Implement a Default Label if the translation returned null ie if null Variable, 'QTY' Else QTY_French
