Localization of text objects in Crystal Report RPT file

Dear all,
Does anyone know how support multiple locale text (English and French) in one single Crystal Report RPT file.  Is there a way to parameterize  text objects (including tiles, axis,  of chart) in the Crystal Report RPT files to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text instead of creating RPT file per locale. For example, inserting a text object  in RPT file and it has text "Welcome" in English and use the same RPT file and parameterize that text object's text with a resource file and the text of that object will retrieve the proper localized text from that resource file at runtime based on the user's locale setting.

Easiest way is to place duplicate copies of charts in split sections.
If you have a chart in a group footer, split into two sections place English chart in one and french in the other.
In section expert suppress section based on language field in database. You can do same with Text box or you can over lay two text boxes one in english one in French and then format text box to suppress depending on language. Looks really messy in designer but will be fine in Preview.

  • Localization of CrossTab row and column label Crystal Report RPT file

    Dear all,
    Does anyone know how to support multiple locale texts (English and French) in CrossTab Row and Column Header labels and grand total labels? Is there a way to parameterize text objects CrossTab in one single Crystal Report RPT file to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text for CrossTab Row and Column abels and grand total labels  instead of creating RPT files per locale?

    Hi,
    Does the database have a column that identifies the language? If it does, then you could create two separate cross-tabs and place them in different sections and conditionally suppress the section depending on the language from the database.
    That's the only thing that can be done in my opinion.

  • Support for older Crystal Reports .rpt files in BOE XI 3.1

    Does anyone know how far back you can go with Crystal Reports objects in BOE XI 3.1? In other words, what's the oldest version of Crystal .rpts that are supported in BOE XI 3.1? Can you run Crystal Reports 9 .rpt files? I'm trying to keep from having to update around 4-5 thousand older .rpts files for an upgrade to BOE XI 3.1.
    If we have to do a mass upgrade to CR 2008, what's the best way to do that?
    Edited by: Michael Garrett on Aug 23, 2011 4:46 PM

    Hi,
    from an upgrade perspective you can upgrade from CE9 to XI 3.1. Check
    https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646952008E/xi3-1_bip_upgrade_en.pdf
    (S-User needed)
    Do you have a running CE9 installation? If yes i would recommend upgrading this to XI 3.1 as described in the Guide. Or have you these "4-5 thousand" CR9 documents local on a file location?

    regds,

    I think, at the best what you can do is password protect the report to isolate it from any changes being made.
    Go to File>>Report Options and check the 'Save lock report design' check mark.You will be prompted for a password and then the report is safe from any undesired modifications.
    Unless a valid/correct password is provided,users will not be able to make any changes in the report,however they will be able to open/view it.
    Thanks

    We have Crystal Report 8.5 and when trying to modify an existing report or create a new report, I can't seem to add any database fields or text objects in my report.  I get a prohibition symbol (circle with a backslash inside it) when I hover over the report.  Has anyone encoutered something like this? Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Do you have two monitors?
    I had this problem if I tried to open crystal in the second monitor, move it back to primary monitor and it should be OK.

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Post Author: Micha
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

  • Key instead of Text in Results Object in Crystal Reports For Enterprise

    Hi All
    I recently developed a report in Crystal Reports for Enterprise and at some point afterwards the text description of the hierarchy used in the report was changed.  The Key remained the same, however this caused the report to crash.  The solution was to click Edit Query Option in the Results Objects and simply come out without changing anything.  This refreshed the results object pane and the report ran as normal.   I work in an environment where the text of hierarchies is liable to change frequently and without notice and it will be unfeasible for me to constantly refresh the results object every time a change to a hierarchy is made.  Therefore is there a way to define in CRE to use the Hierarchy key instead of the text as this is less likely to altered?
    Many Thanks in advance
    Neil

    Excuse me I have my terminologies mixed up, what I mean is the name of the characteristic used in the report.  An example would be a characteristic called with the text of "Material" and a key of "0MATERIAL", if I were to change the text description to "MAT" and the key where to remain the same.  This would cause crystal report to error because it expecting the Characteristic name to be "Material".  Is there a setting or something in CRE to have it default to the key only so if the text of a characteristic or even a key figure for that matter where changed there would be no impact to the Crystal report.
    I hope this makes more sense this time round
    Thanks
    Neil

  • How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

    I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention.  This is so some program functionality will work for the new box.  I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
    Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Joanne

    Hi Joanne,
    Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
    Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?
