Hi Nikhil,

In your system the folder is created named Documents when installing the Qlikview version 11.0 or new version and location is "C:\Program Files\QlikView\Examples\Documents" . If you refer the application name Movies Database.qvw you get an idea how to implement the language based application.

HEy ,

I check in President.qvw but what i can see in edit script option is : They just loaded following by inline method:

LOAD * INLINE [

    Language

    English,

     Estonian,

     Japanese,

     Bulgarian,

     Dansk

]

And then they loaded :

Translations:

LOAD [No],

     English,

     Estonian,

     Japanese,

     Bulgarian,

     Dansk

FROM

[..\Database\Translation Dictionary.xls]

(biff, embedded labels, table is Presidents$);

Does Translation Dictionary.xls Contains something that do the translation ?

Please tell.

Thanks

In your data model you have to maintain the Translation table there in your dashboard if you use list box charts and any other objects that you use you have to change its caption string only in any other languages then you have to use Minstring function like

=Minstring({<Index = {79}>} [$(vLanguage)])

Which identify the string for the German language for your selection. It is hard to explain but if you try to use the Movies Database application then you get an idea.

Qlikview will not automatically render and translate languages. You have to have a translating table or excel file which will store translated data and then it can be shown based on language selected.

In your database you can have table having multiple records based on language_code column, which will then be used in qlikview application.

Qlikview is not a language translator, you feed data to see data.

Thanks,

Hi Nikhil,

Qlikview doesn't do this automatically.  You see there is an inline table with language conversions, using that you can change the language dynamically. 

If it not clear can you attach a small example and let us know your expected output.

Jagan.
