Changing Prefix in dimension trough language selection Lookup

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a way to cut down on visibility states in a double lookup block I'm working on but I can't seem to get this to work.
I have 4 language types that represent 4 prefix possibilitys.
DE: Nutzraum
EN: Useful
FR: Utile

NL: Nuttig>

When changing the language in the lookup i want the tekst in the dimension to change.

In the attached block is my last attempt at trying to reach a solution.

Turn off the dim text.  Replace it with an attribute.  For the attribute default value add a blockplaceholder field that references the lookup and then a field that references the dimension value.

Hey Libbya thank you for your initial reply!

I can't seem to fully grasp how to put this together.
When placing the blockplaceholder field in the ATT I can select the Lookup but i can't let it show the Lookup value that is the text from my first post.

I think I got it right to some extent. the tekst changes to hashtags when changing the language

See attached.  That's what I was thinking.  After making a change to lookup or dim length, do a REGEN to see the change displayed in the field.

Isn't it possible to keep the measurement reading as standard and place a field like text in front of it?
I know it isn't possible via blockplaceholder but is there no workaround for this?

@s_hendrikxHMCCF No unfortunately there is no workaround to do it the way you want to do it

The attribute will plot exactly the same as the dim text.  What's the hang up?
