Localization and internationalization of analysis schemas
Procedure
Edit your analysis schema and tokenize all values that you want to localize. Typically you would create variables for all caption and description values.
<Schema measuresCaption="%{foodmart.measures.caption}"> <Dimension name="Store" caption="%{foodmart.dimension.store.caption}" description="%{foodmart.dimension.store.description}"> <Hierarchy hasAll="true" allMemberName="All Stores" allMemberCaption="%{foodmart.dimension.store.allmember.caption =All Stores}" primaryKey="store_id" caption="%{foodmart.hierarchy.store.country.caption}" description="%{foodmart.hierararchy.store.country.description}> <Table name="store"/> <Level name="Store Country" column="store_country" uniqueMembers="true" caption="%{foodmart.dimension.store.country.caption}" description="%{foodmart.dimension.store.country.description}"/>
Create localized MondrianMessages.properties files in the /WEB-INF/classes/com/pentaho/messages/ directory inside of the Pentaho WAR, and define each token you used in the analysis schema.
NoteJBoss users will have to delete the unpacked Pentaho WAR directory if it exists, then unpack the pentaho.war file with an archive utility, create the message bundles in the proper location, then repack it into a WAR again.If you need further assistance in creating localized message bundles on the Pentaho Server, refer to Customize the Pentaho User Console.

Edit the mondrian.properties file in the /pentaho/server/pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/mondrian/ directory and add this line (or modify it if it's already there):
mondrian.rolap.localePropFile=com.pentaho.messages.MondrianMessages
Save and close the file.
Restart the Pentaho Server.
Log in to the User Console with administration permissions, then click Manage Data Sources, then the Add button. Choose Analysis from the menu. Browse to import your file.
Edit your analysis data source by checking the option next to Manually enter data source parameters.
- If absent from the list of parameters, add one parameter called DataSource whose value is the name of the JDBC data source to use.
- Create a new parameter called Locale and enter the value for the language that you want to make available.
- Create a new parameter called DynamicSchemaProcessor with a value of mondrian.i18n.LocalizingDynamicSchemaProcessor.
- Create a new parameter called UseContentChecksum with a value of true.
