User Defined Languages
Previous versions of Hyperion System 9 BI+ binaries supported a limited set of out-of-box user
interface languages, but some of them did not have corresponding translation files. You could
use one of the pre-defined user interface languages, but were unable to select other user
interface languages.
In Release 9.2, any Interactive Reporting Sort Order Language (also known as Interactive
Reporting document language) can be used as a user interface language. Dynamic loading of
the user defined briottbl.txt translation files is also supported.
Table1 shows user defined supported languages and includes the following columns:
● UI Language Name—Name of the language on the UI.
● Built in—Whether the corresponding user interface language is built into the installation
and has the corresponding briottbl.txt translation file (except for English).
● Subdirectory Name—A subdirectory that can be searched in the Translation directory.
● Briottbl.txt header—A language name that must be present in the header of the
corresponding briottbl.txt translation file. If the column contains several items, then
any of the listed names can be used. Character case is ignored. For example, you could type:
“simpchinese”, “SimpChinese” or “SIMPCHINESE”.

To configure a user interface language supported by the Hyperion System 9 BI+ binaries but
not installed automatically:
1 Create an appropriate briottbl.txt translation file and place it in the corresponding subdirectory.
2 Select the user interface language (see “User Interface Language” on page11).
Briottbl.txt Files
The Hyperion System 9 BI+ binaries expect to find briottbl.txt files in the corresponding
language dependant subdirectories of the Translations directory.
Table 2 Translation Directories for Binaries
Binary Location
BIService/Das <BaseDirectory>\..\lib\msgs\Translations (for example, D:\hps_83_340\lib\msgs)
where <BaseDirectory> is a directory specified by way of the –basedir parameter.
This default value can be overridden by the TRANSLATIONS_DIR setting in the
server.xml file.
Interactive Reporting <StdAppPath>\Translations
Studio/Interactive
where <StdAppPath> is a directory from which the binary is inititated.

Example If you have an Arabic briottbl.txt translation file and need to configure an Arabic user interface
language:
1. Verify the structure of the briottbl.txt to be configured. The header must contain the correct
user interface language string identifier (in this case, Arabic).
2. Create an Arabic subdirectory in the Translations directory and copy the briottbl.txt file into it.
