Symptom

Environment

  • SAP Cloud for Customer
  • SAP ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

Maintain the desired language in adaption language for those fields.

  1. Go to the Business Analytics work center.
  2. Go to the Design Report view.
  3. Run the Report where those PDI fields are translated.
  4. Select tab Selection.

You can see those fields show only ID. Now select tab View (RUI) or Row&Colum (HTML5). You can see same fields show description.

Cause

If those fields are coming via personalization (added via Add Fields), the translations from language adaptation do not work as expected.

Resolution

Add those fields via report wizard, the translation should work. For the translation to work correctly, we recommend to translate PDI fields via Studio (SDK).
