Does Pivot Grid support SSAS translations

[Chris]

Does Pivot Grid / Pivot Grid Configurator support Analysis Server Translations (feature that is present on Enterprise/Dev editions)

At the moment i think its only showing the raw names from the cube...  (using xmla, via msmdpump method)

Can you hook into the dimensions, hierarchies, measures and implement the translations...    
This might be a useful workaround if SSAS Translations not supported... Also a good workaround as not all customers have Enterprise edition, so the ability to set the caption of dimension, hierarchy, measure etc is quite handy

Cheers

Hello Chris,

The names shown in the PivotGrid and PivotConfigurator are taken from the `Caption` attribute in the cube. This however is not the case for the Columns/Rows/Measures descriptors as this will require additional request to preload all axis meta info.

So are there any plans to fully support a cube with the Translations feature - that is present on Analysis Services Enterprise edition?

If not, do you have a suggested workaround to support a client side so that we can implement the correct naming?

Thanks

Hello Chris,

Currently the way to achieve this is handle dataBound event of the widget and manipulate the DOM. Here is an example for this: http://dojo.telerik.com/@rusev/Owosi.
