    Assuming you have set up 3 cultures in your application as shown below:

    You could create a parameter in your app as shown below:

    Then you could leverage that parameter in all your cube views as shown below to prompt the user to pick their preferred language when running cube views:

    If your ask is how do you add additional languages to your application, see the first screen shot above which you can access from the System tab > General Application Configuration Settings page.  Just uncheck the box in front of "Culture Codes" and put in additional culture codes here:

Thank you so much, it worked with the parameter.

Do you know if its possible instead of using a parameter, use the culture setting on the user security?

And pick spanish or english depending on the user and automatically set the view for that user?

Thanks

    Yes, if a user is set to es-ES for example, then I think they should automatically see the user language on all cube views unless the Culture on the cube view has been set to Invariant.  

    As long as the culture is blank or current, the user should see their preferred language from their user ID.
