Translation Manager
The Translation Manager allows you to view and modify translations of metadata (stream names, dimensions, hierarchies, etc.) added to the global dictionary. Translations added to the global dictionary apply to all elements.
Translations are usually added directly at the element's properties level via the multilingual editor (shown below), which appears when you click the
button. When the Use global dictionary checkbox is checked, the element and its translation are added to the dictionary and thus editable from the Translation Manager. See the Translate an object's name page for more details.
