With the release 2021.12 we introduced in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud the new Text View and Association with which you can enable multi language support for master data. Users can now display the analytical reports and stories in their preferred language of choice.
In this little blog I want to describe the required steps for modeling to utilize this feature.
The Multi Language concept in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is very similar to the S/4HANA and BW/4HANA, where we have dedicated models, which carry the texts of the master data in various languages.
The typical structure of such a model looks like:
Name | Primary Key | Description |
ID | X | Identifier of the master data model |
LANGUAGE | X | Language in ISO-639-1 , e.g. en, de, fr, etc. |
TEXT | Text and content in the language |
Note: S/4HANA and BW/4HANA tables uses one digit language codes (e.g. E, D, F) which will be converted implicitly in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud into ISO-639-1 for processing.
In SAP Data Warehouse Cloud we have to model a so called Text View for that, which has to be associated later by a Dimension View. Here is a typical Entity Relationship diagram to depict the associations between the various views:
Here are the detailed steps, that you need to apply:
8. When refreshing the SAC Story you should be able to see the text of your master data in your preferred language:
With this little guide, you have learned the required modeling steps to support multi languages for master data in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud.
I have started a comprehensive tutorial on Modeling in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, which describes in a practical manner different modeling aspects by guiding users through different exercises.
The Text Association is part of Exercise 2 of the tutorial:
