User Created Translations
If you are using Birst in a multi-lingual environment, certain elements can be translated to each user’s own language to better support localization. Localization allows users to build off of the existing translation capabilities in Birst. See Localization and Business Translation for additional information.
Localization is managed in Admin using a localization file that can be uploaded in the interface to translate user create content.
The table header in this table uses the same column headers from the localization file. The rows show the possible value types and their format for the translatable content or element.

Birst users can select their own locale via Language option in the User settings. See Language Locales for more information and for more locale options.
When a user sets their language, the language is present in the translation file, then users will see the content in their language of choice.
If a user selects a language that is not present in the localization file, the translation from the file’s ‘default’ column will display.
Note: If a space with a localization file is copied, the localization file is copied as well.
