Translate Labels

rbuser

Hello,
is there a way to implement a language file with a report?
For Example: We have one report with labels in german language and want
to use this report for customers all over the world.So we create a
language file with translations of the labels and use this for the
report. Is this possible?


Best wishes.

Hi Nick,

There is no built-in way to translate the contents of a report however
there are a few methods you could use to do it yourself.

1. Report Object loop: After the report loads, loop through all report
components and alter their text (if present) to the proper translation.

2. Edit template as text: Use the following technique to load each
report template as text into memory and alter it as needed.

3. Third party translator: Use a third party tool such as Multilizer to
automatically translate your report templates.
