How to enable account descriptions that are not English (for example Dutch)?

[mitrad]

Is there a way to enable Account descriptions in other languages like Dutch?

Hello,

Found below information in reference guide, might help:

Please check OneStream Server Configuration Utility to add "Dutch" for your application.

Hope this helps.

If you enable the cultures in the App Config, each culture will show in the Descriptions field of the Member Property

From there, the Culture field in the Cube View ( Headers > Header Text ) can be populated with a |!CultureParam!| to allow the user to pick a culture.  So you won't have the descriptions side by side.  You would have to re-run the Cube View in another language to view the other culture descriptions. 

Another option would be to build a tabbed Dashboard with 2 Cube Views - 1 with the culture for English and 1 with the culture for Dutch.

Hi Nidhi,

We do not want to change the default language of accounts or appearance for user, just to add a field to the account description to show the description in Dutch as well as English.

Can you show where in Server config this can be done? Want to provide to IT.

If the environment is hosted on-prem or in own Cloud environment, the Language setting in the App Config file will need to be updated and IIS recycled.

If this is a SaaS environment hosted by OneStream, a ticket would need to be submitted to the Cloud team to update this setting.
