Setting the Default Language for Live Data Connections

You can set the default language used by all live data connections.

For Data Sources Available in Multiple Langauges

If the data sources you are connecting to are translated to multiple languages, then users in SAP Analytics Cloud should use the Data Access Language preference in their user profiles to control which language to retrieve when viewing stories and digital boardrooms.

Users should set a Data Access Language in their user profile settings.

For more information on how to edit your user profile, see Edit Your Profile.
Note
If the language that you select in SAP Analytics Cloud is not available from the data source, the data source will determine what language it uses as the default.
When creating a new live data connection, administrators should not select a language from the Default Language list in the connection dialog. Any language selected in the connection dialog will override the Data Access Language users have set in their user profile settings.

For Data Sources Available in Only One Language

If your data sources are available in only one language, administrators should set a language when creating a live data connection. This ensures that the available language is retrieved regardless of which Data Access Language users have chosen in their user profiles.

When creating a new live data connection, administrators should select the correct language from the Default Language list in the connection dialog. Any language selected in the connection dialog will override the Data Access Language users have set in their user profile settings.
