Datadictionary for each supported language also in RAP

rbuser

Hello,

how is it possible to use the data dictionary to rename all physical table
and field names, but for each supported language with a different fieldname.
Example: physical fieldname "Street", if the report is running in Italian
environment it should be "via" and in German "Strasse". And also in RAP-Code
Datasource['Strasse'].Value or Datasource['via'] should always point to the
physical Datasource['Street'].

best regards

Hi Chris,

A single DataDictionary is not designed to handle multiple
"translations" of a single field. You would need to create a separate
DataDictionary for each language you plan to support and
disconnect/reconnect them as needed.

ok, but what's about the scripts inside RAP. When I use an Italian name of a
field and I connect the data dictionary with English and so the name
changes, what's then? is that situation handled?

Yes this is handled. You can either use the field name or the field
alias when accessing field values in RAP. Same with Delphi.

When the RAP script contains a reference to an Italian name, and the
data dictionary changes to English, the Italian reference won't work
anymore. The RAP scripts are saved in plain text, and are not updated
with the data dictionary.
