Dear Gurus,
When I am going through the document "using SAP BW in Designing OLAP universes"
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
in 13 th page under the heading "SAP BW Multilingual universes" I found the below statements.
"With Web Intelligence, it is possible to leverage the multilingual capabilities
of SAP BW. In order to implement a multilingual environment, the BW system
must include multilingual metadata and multilingual data.
You must create a universe for each language supported by the solution.
The language in which the universe connection is created determines the
language in which the universe is generated.
The user's SAP authentication determines the language of the data returned
to the query. The user must log into InfoView using SAP authentication and
specify the desired language for results returned from the SAP server.
The result-set language is dependent on SAPu2019s Unicode support. If the SAP
system does not contain the data in the desired language, the data is not
available in Web Intelligence in this language. Web Intelligence reverts to
displaying technical names instead of descriptions when the descriptions
are not translated in SAP BW."
After reading the above statements i got the impression that if i want to see the report in 10 languages then i need to create the universe in each language with seperate connection in each language.
if my understanding is correct. it araises below questions.
1. if i am creating one universe for each language will it not increase maintainance?
2. or is there any option available in universe designer which takes the replica of the universe into the desired language?
Please clarify me the above doubts.
Many thanks in Advance
