Multi-languages Column Titles for Custom Reports in OBIEE
Description
Issue description: The titles of the columns cannot be translated for each used languages. Example: If the custom report has been built in English, our Italian users (using the system in Italian) see the data in Italian but the column titles remain in English.
Expected enhancement: Having the ability to store and maintain the translations of the column titles in one custom report.
Use Case and Business Need
Business Requirement: As a global company, OBIEE for TEE is used in several countries with several languages. Custom reports have been built to provide expected information to our business. Our users expect to see the reports (columns, legends, data, UI...) in their connection language.
More details
Current workaround (provided by Oracle): If Custom Headings are required, it will be best to have a different copy of the report for each required language.
Impacts: the maintenance of the custom reports becomes very complex as we'll have to multiply the number of reports by the number of used languages. Moreover, one modification will have to be replicated for all related translated reports
