Translation in SSAS is a mechanism
to support Localization, in which the labels, names, and captions associated
with any SSAS Object (pretty much every SSAS Object supports Translations) are
translated from one language to another language based on the country/language
of the user accessing the data. A Dimension Translation is same as Translation
in SSAS, but in this case the labels, names, and captions associated with
Dimensions, Attributes, Hierarchies, and/or Dimension Members are translated
from one language to another language.
Translations are very useful in
achieving higher level of adoption of the BI/Analytics system (SSAS). This will
eliminate the language barriers among users from different locations/languages
and presents the same information in different languages making single version
of truth available to users across different geographical locations.
Here are some of the highlights of
Dimension Translations:
- There can be multiple Translations associated with a single Dimension, Attribute, Hierarchy, and Dimension Member etc.
- The collation and language settings/information from the client application/computer is used to determine and provide the analysis services metadata/data to the client application.
