  • 1.  Home view tab extension: multilingual label

    Hey experts,

    I know how to add custom tabs to the home and content view of Cognos 12 by uploading an extension. Our users would like to have the "My content" and "Team content" also visible right on the home view. My problem is that in the json file of the extension I have to state a static label for each tab. I don't want to pur a static label for these two tabs as they are already translated by default in Cognos 12. 

    Can I use these multilingual texts in the extensions?

    Sample: Here my users expect that they see the .my folders path as tab on the home view but translated corresponding to their product language they have set up (EN, DE, FR, NL, CN etc.)

      "containerId": "com.ibm.bi.caHome.navigator",
                  "id": "com.ibm.bi.content.navigator.myContent",
                  "legacyId": "com.ibm.bi.contentApps.myContent",
                  "name": "My Folders",
                  "label": "My Folders",
                  "stateId": "myFoldersView",
                  "weight": 1,
                  "properties": {
                    "path": ".my_folders",

    Hi Robert,

    I believe this is not a documented feature. However, you can have a look to LearningPanel.zip shipped with the product. There are multiple translations and languages, you will easily find how to adapt this code.

    Best regards,
