How to create Multilingual Reports in CR 2008

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We need to create multilingual reports in CR 2008. From the User we will be getting the input for the Language and based on this, the report content needs to be changed to language selected. There will be resource bundles deployed for each and every language.

I believe there is a way to include some parameter in the Report Header and based on the input, the report content changes dynamically.

It would be great if anyone can help me with setting up this in detail, to display the user selected language.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,

Naresh.

When we create a multilingual report the database will have the translations for the language. Then we have formulas that dynamically display the correct field based off of the value they select from the parameter.

Thanks Glenn.

How about the data that's not from database, like text fields, headers and footers. Also, would be great if you could share any documentation you have on the same.

I'm new to CR and need some guidance in report designing.

Thanks,

Naresh

If the data is not in the database then we create formulas that have the hard coded text translations.

I have a title formula that selects the language based off of the parameter value the user selected.

As far as any documentation on this I don't have any.

Example:

Select {?Language Choice} // Parameter

Case 'E' : 'STUDENT PROGRESS REPORT'

Case 'S' : 'REPORTE DEL PROGRESO DEL ESTUDIANTE'

Case 'V' : 'PHIẾU BÁO TIẾN TRIỂN VIỆC HỌC CỦA HỌC SINH'
