Multi-Lingual JSP Reports

Hi,
Can I use the customize xml functionality for providing multi-lingual capability for JSP reports?
I have been able to replace report fields labels with foreign language/customized labels for PDF and 6i-style HTML reports. How should one go about implementing this feature for JSP reports (reports with web source).
Thanks,
Bharat

Hi Bharat
I do not think you can use the xml customization for web reports which you run from jsp engine and not through Reports servlet. However if character set setting in your web report jsp page matches with your required language, the report output with come in same lang settings. So you do not have any issue for the data part. And you can edit the web report jsp page to correct the Labels etc.
Thanks

How to design multi-lingual reports w.r.t. boilerplate text

Hi,
We need to design reports and report templates that are multi-lingual with respect to the boilerplate text in them.
How could this be done, if at all?
I am a bit familiar with the ideas about NLS parameters used to translate and format data that comes from the database, error messages etc., from other OTN posts and Reports documentation.
NLS stuff is NOT what I'm asking about.
Also, I don't think I need to mix languages in one report (or maybe is this part of a possible solution?)
Can I design a report which dynamically displays its boilerplate text parts in different languages, depending on the Windows locale of the user invoking the report?
Can I put all the boilerplate translations inside the report or some report 'configuration' file, rather than somewhere in the database?
If the report is set for batch production and automatic distribution, how would the scheduling mechanism tell the report which language to have its boilerplate text displayed at each invocation?
I think we'll be using Reports Builder 6i for development and will deploy on 9iAS R2 Reports Services. I'm not the actual developer, so I'm not sure about which Report Builder version will be used.
Thanks a lot,
Gabriel Tanase

hello,
there are several ways to do it. i guess the most practical way is to actually use the XML customization feature that is available with reports or use translation hub, but since you stated that you are using 6i this is not an option as translation hub is only available from 9i onwards.
however the XML customziation approach would work for 6i as well. essentailly you create your report and make sure all your boilerplate text items have a uniqe name. then you can create a customization file for each language that then changes the content of each of the poilerpalte items. those can be applied at runtime or in batch.
as for the scheduling, you would need to either pass in a parameter naming the customization file or simply run the correct language version of the report.
thanks,
ph.

Multi Lingual Report issue

Hi Everyone,
All our reports are multi lingual. By setting the "NLS_LANG" parameter the report displays french or spanish or english strings. The problem I am having is when I open this report in the report builder and make any change and save it, the report no longer displays the strings based on the "NLS_LANG" parameter. It only displays the strings in one language based on the "NLS_LANG" value that was set, when the report was saved.
Can any one help me with this issue. How do I save this report so that it continues to display strings/boiler plates based on the "NLS_LANG" parameter.
Thanks!

did you try to surpress the field not the section if there is no data. there is also underlaying the section, so it appears to print next to the other section,
go to format section. select underlay for the section above (details A) that may help

How to generate multi-lingual applications with Designer?

In Designer 10g we have the definitions of hundreds of tables and views and
forms/reports modules. Currently all texts (prompts, hints, comments, help texts, etc) are in Dutch. Because of new customers in Germany, we now have to translate everything into German (and in the future also to French and English etc).
We know that we can use Translation Hub to translate forms and reports,
however, many tables/columns are used by more modules (sometimes 10 or more). So, the translation of each module with the Hub is very inefficient.
We are wondering if there are easier ways. For example, when we translate a
prompt of a tablecolumn, Designer (Headstart) can update all related module items. So, with one translation, we in fact translate many modules at once.
We could perhaps make a copy of the application, but that will work very
inefficiently because each modification has to be done on multiple
applications.
Has anyone a genius solution for this?
Thanks for your help, Jan Willem

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there isn't a genius solution out there for you. And it isn't a Designer problem, it's an application architecture problem.
You'll notice that Headstart (since you've looked at that) does two things for you. One is that it has utilities to go update many items for you. Two is that it uses standard error and LOV tables which are multi-lingual based. You enter your messages and lookups in many languages (many rows per code, one per language) and the Headstart library logic displays the right row based on the code and the NLS setting. architecture.
In your case, where you have hard-coded everything, if you don't want to re-architect things, then your only solution is to clone things. Probably best off (based on other client experience) to just keep the single model in your base language, develop and gen as you have been, and then work your way through all the source code (database and application components) to do all the translation (as noted the Translation Hub can help some), and then implement each result. At least that way you know all the functional logic works. So you're not introducing any bugs (except for when the translated info is longer then the base info -- as we have here in Canada where French takes up more space then English). sorry. ugly.

Multi-lingual Translator component in java?

hello all,
I want to make a Multi-lingual Translator component in java
which can be used to convert any existing web site(developed
using any technology asp/jsp etc) to any foreign language
viz german, spanish,italian and other major foreign
languages.
Please let me know how do i proceed in java with respect to
the following?:
1. It has to be developed as a component in java such that
it can be included in any existing web site as a control
which simply gives the users the option of converting
either the current web page from english to any other
foreign language or simply the entire web site from
english to any other foreign language
     How to develop it as a component so that it can be
independently merged into any existing web site(whether
asp or jsp) as a control? which technology should i be
using here EJB's or Applets or any other?
I personally think it can be a applet because with EJB's
container/application server is required.
what do you all suggest?
2. I don't want to use any free translators that are
available freely on net these days, because a lot of them
re-directs to their own translation page and includes
their own banners and or advertisements etc., which may
not be feasible with us as we have to include this
utility on our company's web sites
3. How much time it should take approximately to develop?
4. If there's any free tool available however without the
limitations as mentioned above in point 2, then i am not
averse to using it please let me know if such a tool is
available.
5. Please also let me know if there exists already a multi-
lingual component in java with source code freely
available anywhere on net, then please give me the link.
This will help me save a lot of time in developing it.
Please let me know the answers to above of my queries and
u"ll be doing a great deal of help here.
Thanks in advance

Multi-lingual javascript support

Hi all,
I am facing a problem trying to make my site multi-lingual. I have made necessary changes in my database to handle multi-lingual data, but the problem is how do i check the data entered by the user in any language other than english at the client side itself.
Has anyone worked on this or does anyone has material regarding how to support multi-lingual javascript validations.
thanks in advance

Multi Lingual Titles

We are developing a fully multi-lingual system and require the text displayed as report titles / headings to vary dependent on a 'locale' parameter. This does not appear to be possible - am I missing something?

Is is possible with Oracle Reports!
See the sample page on otn:
http://web39-04.us.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/live_examples/multibyte/utf8demo.pdf
Please see more information from otn how Oracle Reports 9i support multi-languages.

Multi Lingual String not getting displayed properly with Java 1.5.4

Hi,
I have a strange problem and i think the problem is due to java 1.5.4.
Problem is:
My application was previously deployed on weblogic6.1 server and jdk used was 1.3.1
After i migrated my application to weblogic 9.2 and started using jdk 1.5.4, i am not able to correctly view the data which is stored in different languages on browser.
Some more details:
OS - Linux.
Database - Informix 9.2
Intresting part is :
If i enter a new multi lingual string from my application (deployed on WLS 9.2 with JDK 1.5.4) and store it in database, and then try to retreive it, it is displayed correctly.
Issue arises only when the multi lingual string created and stored in database from my old application (deployed on WLS 6.1 with JDK 1.3.1) is retrieved and displayed in the new application (WLS 9.2 with JDK 1.5.4).
Hope my issue is clear and if any one has any clue as to how to solve this issue. Kindly help

Summary fields in the JSP report

I created a JSP report using Oracle 9i Reports Developer using report wizard. It has a %Total field on one of the columns.
It is running good for the first time. But when I am closing and reopening the report the Summary column is showing a null value in the source column. And it would not run the report.

Puvan,
I figured out the problem myself. It is not a version issue.
I was using a sum function on a decode expression in the sql command. The % total was applied on that sum expression. Every time I was reopening the report the sum expression was getting created in a new group.
When I gave an alias for the sum(decode(xyz)) expression it is working fine now.
I would still consider that as an issue with Reports Developer.
FYI...

Calling a JSP Report From HTML parameter form

Hi,
I m trying to run a JSP Report from a HTML parameter Form. The JSP reports requires a parameter named userid in the URL with a valid value for database connection.
eg. URL "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?userid=sysapps/system@trt1". We have created a variable on the server named "parmformjsp" with a value "sysapps/system@trt1". Now i use this variable in the URL as follows, eg. "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?parmformjsp".
When i use this URL to call another JSP report from a JSP report it works fine, but the same does not work when calling a JSP report from a HTML form.
the code for HTML parameter form calling a report is as follows,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Parameter Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Parameter Form</p>
<form name="form1" method="GET"
action="http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_custrns.jsp?parmformjsp">
<p>From Date<input type="text" name="p_fmdate" size="20"></p>
<p>To Date<input type="text" name="p_todate" size="20"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><input type="submit" ><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
If i create an input parameter named "userid" with a valid database connection value, remove the ?parmformjsp part from the action URL then it works fine. How can i call the JSP report using the parmformjsp variable name instead of using the "userid" clause in the URL.Can anyone suggest any workaround....
Thanks & Best Regards,
Unmesh

do it like this...
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
BEGIN
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL', TEXT_PARAMETER, :ROUTE_CARD.ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\STL_FINAL\CHPREPORTS_FINAL\ROUTE_CARD.REP', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END; what exactly happens when you call the report. if its showing the blank page... may be you are not passing the right parameter name. cross-check that your parameter name in the report is 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL'.

JSP Report in Jdeveloper 9.0.3.1!!!

Hi,
I've a BC4J jsp application developed by Jdeveloper 9.0.3.1. I need to include a jsp report in my project.
Is it possible to do it? How?
If this is impossible, how can I create a "pdf" format report (or something of similar)?
Tanks in advance.

Harald,
We just got Apache's XSL_FO transformer, XML into PDF working under 902 oc4j.
It's a CPU hog, as one would guess.
Do you know if the tools you mentioned use a more CPU effiicient technology than XSL transform or are more
efficient than Apache's XSL_FO?
Thanks, curt

it seems to be a bug in oracle.
you need to apply the patchset 9.0.4.1 to get this issue resolved.
