Is it possible to assign a metric to an attribute in a filter, so that when selecting a language, the dashboard is translated?
I am working on a D.R.E dashboard project where I need to translate the metrics into Portuguese, English, and Mandarin.

02/20/2025, 10:57 PMHi Vinicius, this is currently possible via Gray Pages assuming that you are using our legacy platform: https://help.gooddata.com/classic/en/expand-your-gooddata-platform/gooddata-integration-into-your-application/metadata-localization/#locali[…]guages

I am afraid that creating a filter this way is not possible, you can only translate the metadata on your workspace by following the steps in the documentation above. Once you have the XLIFF file for the target language (the language to translate the workspace into), you will need to access the gray pages resource to paste it and submit the changes.

Because we have a multinational company and our environment is in Portuguese, the metrics would have to be multilingual to cover all employees, especially in the controllership and financial dashsm

02/21/2025, 6:00 PMThanks for sharing this. It is certainly possible to translate the metric metada, e.g., title, filters, attributes and facts, but the data itself would remain untranslated. If you want to give it a go, please feel free to follow the steps in the documentation I shared previously and let us know if you run into any troubles.
