Chapter 4: Configuring ReportNet Map Content Locales Adding incomplete locales (languages) to the ReportNet environment does not guarantee that your computer has a font that can display Web pages in your preferred languages. Ensure that you install the appropriate language packs to support the character sets you use. Steps 1. On the computer where you installed Content Manager, start Cognos Configuration. 2. From the Action menu, click Edit Global Configuration. 3. Click the Content Locales tab. 4. Click Add. Tip: To remove support, select the check box next to the supported item and then click Remove. 5. In the second column, type an appropriate value. • To add language support for report data and metadata, type a partial local (language) setting. • To add support specific to a region, type a complete locale (language-region) setting. 6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each additional locale that you want to support. 7. From the File menu, click Save. Use the Content Locale Mappings table to map user locales to a complete (language-region) or partial (language) locale. You can also map a user’s preferred language to another language if content is not available in the user’s preferred language. For example, if a report is not available in a preferred language, for example Vietnamese, but is available in French and German, you can use the Content Mappings table to map the preferred language (Vietnamese) to another language (French or German). This way, you see the report in the mapped language. By default, the Content Locale Mappings table includes locales that do not contain the region. This allows you to use only the language portion of the locale when you specify locale settings and ensures that you always see the correct information. For example, in a multilingual database, data is usually available in different languages, such as French (fr), Spanish (es) and English (en), rather than being available in different locales, such as English Canada (en-ca), English United States (en-us), or French France (fr-fr). The follow examples shows the method that ReportNet uses to determine which report the user sees if the multiple language versions are available. Example 1 A report is available in Content Manager in two locales, such as en-us (English-United States) and fr-fr (French-France), but the user locale is set to fr-ca (French-Canadian). ReportNet uses the locale mapping to determine which report the user sees. First, ReportNet checks to see if the report is available in Content Manager in the user’s locale. If it is not available in the user’s locale, ReportNet maps the user’s locale to a normalized locale configured on the Content Locale Mapping tab. Because the user’s locale is fr-ca, it is mapped to fr. ReportNet uses the mapped value to see if the report is available in fr. In this case, the report is available in en-us and fr-fr, not fr. Next, ReportNet maps each of the available reports to a normalized locale. Therefore, en-us becomes en and fr-fr becomes fr. Because both report and the user locale maps to fr, the user having the user locale fr-ca will see the report saved with the locale fr-fr. Example 2 The user’s locale and the report locales all map to the same language. ReportNet chooses which locale to use. For example, if a user’s locale is en-ca (English-Canada) and the reports are available in en-us (English-United States) and en-gb (English-United Kingdom), ReportNet maps each locale to en. The user will see the report in the locale setting that ReportNet chooses. 56 Cognos ReportNet TM
Chapter 4: Configuring ReportNet Example 3 Map Product Languages The report and the user locales do not map to a common language. ReportNet chooses the language. In this case, you may want to configure a mapping. For example, if a report is available in en-us (English-United States) and fr-fr (French-France), but the user locale is es-es (Spanish-Spain), ReportNet chooses the language. Steps 1. On the computer where you installed Content Manager, start Cognos Configuration. 2. From the Action menu, click Edit Global Configuration. 3. Click the Content Locale Mapping tab. 4. Click Add. 5. In the Key box, type the user locale: • To ensure all regions for a user locale see content in a specific language, type the language portion of the locale, followed by a dash (-) and an asterisk (*). For example, type fr-* • To ensure a user locale (language-region) sees content in a specific language, type the complete locale. For example, type fr-ch • To map a preferred language to another language, type the preferred language portion of the locale. For example, type zh Tip: To specify which locale to use as the default, use the wildcard character (*) for the Key value and then, in the Locale Mapping box type the locale. 6. In the Locale Mapping box, type the language portion of the locale. User locales specified in the Key box will see content in this language. 7. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for other mappings you want to do. 8. Click OK. 9. From the File menu click Save. Use the Product Language Mappings table to specify the language used in the user interface when the language specified in the user’s locale is not available. You can ensure that all regions for a locale use the same language, or that a specific, complete locale (language-region) uses a particular language. By default, the user sees the product interface in the language that matches the language setting of the user locale. Steps 1. On the computer where you installed Content Manager, start Cognos Configuration. 2. From the Action menu, click Edit Global Configuration. 3. Click the Product Language Mappings tab. 4. Click Add.
