Matadata translations - Editions

Hi,

the link http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx

Mentions "Metadata Translations" is a feature of the enterprise edition only - is this true ?

Means if i want to have a dimension name in german and english this is only possible in the Enterprise edition ?
The Sample shows translations and it works in the standard edition - I guess its only a mistake in the documentation - is it ?

No it is not a mistake. Usage of translations reserved only for the Enterprise and Developer edition.

|||But it works in the Standard edition on my test server - I could deploy translation, but i cannot deplay perspectives . therefore i guess this is wrong in doc.

I use 32 Bit Standard edition with SP1 - and Cummulative Build 2153

Meens this is a bug in SP1 ? and maybe getting removed in further fixes?

If some of the limitations are not enforced by Analysis Server this doesnt mean you can use it in the way it is not intended.

If documentation clearly states you cannot use one of the features in certain edition, you should not. If, say, tomorrow Analysis Server starts enforcing the limitation, you might not be able to see your database.
