KB30194: Renaming a project does not work in MicroStrategy 9.0.0 when the Interface Language is set to a value different than English. The name rolls back to the original name after disconnecting and reconnecting to the project source.

SYMPTOM:
Users that rename a project through Developer will notice that the name is rolled back to the original name after disconnecting and reconnecting to the project source even if apparently the name changed at the moment of renaming it.
 
The problem happens both in 2-Tier and 3-Tier when the Desktop Interface Language is set to any value different than English. Unloading and reloading the project as well as closing and re-opening Desktop will not solve the problem.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Follow the steps below to reproduce this issue in the Strategy Tutorial project:

• Set the Desktop interface language preference to a language different to English (Tools > Desktop Preferences... > International > Language > Interface Language). For the purpose of this example pick 'Spanish'.
• Close and re-open desktop for the change to take effect.
• Connect in 2-Tier to the project source Strategy BI Developer Kit (Direct).
• Open project 'Strategy Tutorial' in order to be able to rename it.
• Rename the project to 'Strategy Tutorial renombrado'. The project name seems to effectively change to the new value that was just set.

• Disconnect and re-connect to the project source 'Strategy BI Developer Kit (Direct)'. Since this is a 2-Tier project source, changes take effect immediately.
• After reconnecting, users will notice that the name rolled back to the original value which in this case is 'Strategy Tutorial'.

CAUSE:
This is a known issue in Strategy 9.0.0
 
ACTION:
Contact Strategy Technical Support for an update on the latest status of this issue.
 
WORKAROUND:
Go to Project Configuration > Language > User Preferences and set the 'Metadata language preference for all users in this project' to the same value as your Desktop Interface Language setting.
 

 
Disconnect and re-connect in 2-Tier or unload and reload the project in 3-Tier. Try to rename the project again. This time it should work fine.
 
Note: Users should be aware of the functionality provided by the Metadata Internationalization feature in Strategy 9 before performing the workaround provided above.
