multilingual reports in telerik designer

[ashwini]

Hi,

 

I have all my reports designed in telerik report designer.

The selection page for the report criteria is developed in .net and the report viewer used for reports is HTML5 report viewer.

How can we make our reports multilingual to show the static content on report in the language user has selected from selection page.

 

Regards,

Ashwini

Hello Ashwini,

The approach for localizing report is provided in Localizing Reports help article.

In general, when you make a report localizable a .resx file will be created per culture and it will contain the names of the report items and the localized strings (their values).

To see the working example of this approach please visit our online demos (ProductCalatog Multilingual). This report can also be found locally under Telerik Reporting installation directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting [version]\Report Designer\Examples\Product Catalog.trdp.

Hi Katia

we keep al our translations in a SQL database table.  Do you think there is a way to make a report localizable by using this table and not a .resx file ?

Hello Hans,

Reports are not designed to use SQL table as a resource file. I can suggest populating the .resx file with the data from the table, check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28556545/populating-resource-resx-file-from-database discussion that provides a solution for this task.
