ClinkscakeThere are many ways to use culture. I will list out two of them

1. Create XFString(MyAliasReportString, Culture=|!Enter Culture!|) under dashboard-> Strings

2.Dashboard XFBRString instead of XFString. Below example is to show how you can send some information to XFBR and get value in return by applying any logic.

BRString(brRuleName, GetUserCulture, optionalName1 = var1, optionalName2 = var2)

if (args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("GetUserCulture"))
 Dim UI As UserInfo = BRApi.Security.Authorization.GetUser(si, si.UserName)
 Dim U_Culture As String = UI.UserPreferences.Culture
 Return U_Culture 
End If

    We added French descriptions to our account dimension:

    How can I utilize this French description in parameters when there is no option for culture?
