2618462 - 'Section Name' 'Section Custom Field Name' In Report Shows Results In Multiple Languages

When creating an Ad Hoc report or story report for the Performance Management domain, some fields like Section Name, Section Custom Field Name have results in multiple languages.

• SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management
• SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics

1. Create an Ad Hoc Report or story report using Performance Management Domain
2. Select the column "Section Name", "Section Custom Field Name" etc.
3. Generate the Report
4. The columns are fetching data in multiple languages

When msgkey is configured and localized translations are maintained for fields such as section name and section custom field name in form templates, the form's values are saved in the locale in which it was saved. 

For example, if the form is saved in English, the values under "section name" in ad hoc/story report will be in English. If the form is saved in Japanese, the values under "section name" in ad hoc/story report will be in Japanese.

Table reports don't report the localized fields defined in message keys in the template XML, for example, section names and adjusted ratings. Therefore, the fields are reported only in the language in which forms are saved rather than in logged-in users' languages.

Workaround (for story report)

To generate results in the locale of user who is running the report, use the "locale specific" columns in the story report, such as "section name (locale specific)".
