Reporting in Multiple Languages

We are developing a system to be used in several different languages. There is no problem getting the report data to be in the correct language as we hold names etc for every language within our application. However in order to make the reports readable we need to generate the report titles dynamically as well in the appropriate language.
I have asked a similar question before and was pointed at the example : http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/live_examples/multibyte/utf8demo.pdf
The headings in this - 'Product Id', 'Language Id' etc are in a fixed language. Am I flogging a dead horse?

Hi James,
I agree with Spikey suggestion.
But I have one question for you. I understand that you store names etc. in different languages in the database. But how do you display in reports the accents for French if the language of the database is English.
I came up with a package that solve this matter, but I used some characters and my data looks a little strange right now.
Can you give me some information?
My e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks,
Monica

    Hi Kumar,
    It's not that report be written in multiple languages. The coding is normal and all that you have to do is, create text elements, selections texts and messages also normally as you do regularly.
    As per your requirement, in order to display your report in multiple languages, all that you have to do is maintain translations to all the above texts. You can do this from the same report in SE38.
    GOTO-->text elements. Here goto --> translations. Here you will find all the texts. You maintain the required translations here.
    You can also maintain translations for any given object like function modules, reports, dictionary objects etc from SE63.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem while running report for Multiple Language

    Hi Friends,
    The set up for the apps is done for two languages 1. German 2. English.
    I’m printing Invoice Report. It is associated with MLS language function.
    It returns US or D (for German) according to the setup.
    When I run the report from English User, the report runs fine for MLS language function which returns 'US' and not working for ‘D’ as the template is not being picked up(it completed with status Normal and i'm able to see the output by running 'XML Report Publisher' program)
    Similarly when I run the report from German User, the report runs fine for MLS language function which return 'D' and not working for ‘US’.
    I have created two template for testing purpose.The setup for the template as follows.
    Language English Territory US.
    Language German Territory Germany.
    There is no effect on the combination of the language and territory.
    Please help me...
    Regards,

    When a report terminates with an error, REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS returns the value "TERMINATED_WITH_ERROR", which is 21 bytes of data, but rep_status is defined as 20 bytes. The 6502 error is due to the data not fitting the variable.
    I recommend wrapping the REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS function with a SUBSTR that limits the data returned to 20 bytes, which will ensure the results fit.
    For example:
    rep_status := SUBSTR(REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep), 1, 20);

  • Sccm 2012 multiple language reports from mbam integration

    I installed mbam on my sccm 2012 primary server and all went well with one exception.  The reports have multiple languages.  In the reports folder that houses the mbam reports, there are multiple folders for the four mbam reports, so I have about
    10 different languages for my 4 reports.  I only want english.  I would think that like any other sccm report I can just delete the others I won't use, but am concerned since this is a component of mbam and it might be expecting those reports
    as "placeholders" for that data.  Can I just delete the folders for the unneeded languages?  Additionally I am getting an error when launching the reports when the window for the report opens it has at the bottom of the report:  ERROR:
    the mbam policy view does not exist.  I am assuming this is because not all the components have been installed in the mbam environment as of yet.  We are upgrading from mbam 1.0 and I am doing the sccm integration piece.  I realize the monitoring
    server needs to be installed, the policy template also needs to go somewhere as well, so  suspect this is expected behaviour with only the sccm integration piece involved so far.  THanks!

    It's more of housekeeping issue.  I am going to have to delete that folder anyway as right now I am connected to a test database and will need to uninstall mbam and reinstall it when they are ready to point to a different database after testing is
    complete.

  • Can we store BW codes in Unicode /multiple languages ?

    I am aware that we can create BW reports in multiple languages on one system. Is this only limited to texts or can we store/display codes also in unicode ? Our requirement is to display all codes as well as texts in multiple languages. Your quick response is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
      It refers to texts only. As far as I knew it doesn't apply to codes I believe. I hope this will help you.

  • How to accept multiple languages in a single report.

    Hi,
    We have a Web I report built based on universe(Oracle DB- Utf-8 codepage), In Data base tables there is a data with multiple languages. But when I run Web I report it is showing the data which is in english but data other than english is showing inverted "?". Could any one please suggest me how the data to be supported in all languages for the Web I report.
    Thanks,
    Mallareddy D.

    You should be creating a universe using the table with filter utilizing a column which accepts a parameter value of language and shows the data in that specific language. This concept is already used in SAP standard audit universe which accepts language for any query and shows the data in that language.. The logic for the derived column for the table should look something like below Table.LANGUAGE = @Prompt(Select language)

  • Reports Output in MULTIPLE Languages..

    Hello -
    We have a customer with operating locations in China, Japan and USA. They are OK with using the application (Forms, Java etc) in English. But they have few Customer facing reports (Invoices, Statements etc.) that need to be printed in the local language (Both DATA and Labels).
    So it is NOT just labels but also the data (right, even the item descriptions, styles, color) etc needed to be printed in Local Language.
    I know one way we do this is by storing the data in multiple languages (Items Descriptions, Colors, Styles) in a table. But I am wondering if there is ANY Dynamic conversion utility that can be used at the report run time that can convert ENGLISH to local languages before printing.
    Any suggestions?>
    Thank YOU

    Hi Norman,
    We have Siebel 8.0.0.8 implemented in ENU and FRA. I have an XLIFF for each language. However , when I run the report from the French application, the report generated has all the labels show up correctly in French. However, the LOV values still show up in English. If I set the Language Code parameter in the XMLP Report Server component to FRA, then the French LOV values show up in English and French reports.
    How do I get the correct LOVs to show up on the correct language reports. Any ideas ?
    Thanks

  • Why do I get a popup message in multiple languages requiring a shutdown and restart

    Why do I keep getting a popup message in multiple languages requiring a shutdown and restart?  Has been going on for a few months.  Because of the shutdown reports have been sent to Apple upon restart.

    After it restarted, did you see a dialog box resembling this one:
    If so, next time it occurs click Report...
    Before you send it to Apple, copy the text of the report. Paste it in a reply. Remove or obscure any personal information, should it appear.
    If problems continues to occur please determine if they also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

    Hi,
    Lets say you have two smart styles with X and Y, and runtime based on the number of pages, if you would like to modify the style, then check any standard table or structue which holds and responsible for the holding the style value.
    If you can trace that, based on the coding we can modify accordingly.

    thanks for replying, but i tried this option too, it did not work for me, neither isnull nor coalesce. I mean, the solution work for single value but when i pass multiple values then separated by a comma then it doesn't work and shows me an error like "Incorrect Syntax ','". I am using SQL server as DB and bip is 10.1.3.4.1
    also please share the SR number, so i can also check the same.
    can there be any other work around to this?

  • Crystal Reports XI: multi-language option

  • Crystal Reports in other languages ...

    Hi
    I'm new to crystal reporting my question is can crystal reports (v10 to be specific) present data in other languages like for example Arabic even though your data source is English language? More like translate this data to that language, Is it just a matter of choosing the font when designing or its more complicated than that?
    Thanks

    New since CR 9 is unicode support: http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--supportbusinessobjectscom-communityCS-TechnicalPapersNoNav-cr9whatsnewpdfasp&sliceId=&dialogID=24286720&stateId=1 0 24288668
    "Unicode support means that the program code level in Crystal Reports is able to recognize language
    characters that are based on Unicode.
    Unicode is used to display double-byte characters such as the Chinese and Japanese character sets.
    This enables you to create Crystal Reports that can display right-to-left languages and multiple
    languages in a single report."
    So if your data is in unicode Crystal will be able to properly display the various languages.
    If you wanted one single report to be viewed in different languages, then static strings in the report would need to be converted into formula fields which changes the text into the appropriate language based on a language parameter.  Some strings could not be handled in this manner though such as custom prompting strings.

  • Multiple language support

    A few questions:
    1) Does the report viewer control have multiple language support? I could not find a way to resource the status bar, toolbar tooltips, or subsequent dialogs.
    2) Is there a way to support multiple languages in the reports? I'm thinking of inspecting all ReportObjects in the ReportDefinition, but I'm wondering if there's a less invasive way of handling this.
    3) Is there a way to determine the last page number of a report? I understand that not all pages are loaded initially and I'm ok with that limitation, but I can find no way to determine if the user's reached the last page other than looking at the enabled state of the "Last Page" button in the toolbar.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    1. Yes we support multiple languages. Go here http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm then check out Crystal Reports .NET SDK > Tutorials and Sample Code > Other Tutorials > Configuring Multilingual Client Support.
    2. This depends on what you mean by supporting multiple languages? Do you mean you want the entire report, including data to be in another language? If so then this is up to you. We don't translate the data. We only translate the tooltips, toolbar, and regionalize the data formats. You can either switch to a different data table for the correct language, create a formula to translate for you, or create a custom UFL and subscribe to a translation service to translate the data for you.
    3. Yes. Check out note 1216240 here https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-notes.

  • Multiple Language..More information

    One of our team members tested that if he had oracle applications on 10g (UTF8) he was able to enter data in a DFF in a differnt language while logging into the US instance with no language patches on it. The scenario was repeated by another member who connected to the US applications instance and was able to save and re-query japanese characters.
    Our requirement is just to have 2-3 fields to be in different language that too in couple of forms. Is it still recommended to install the language patches or continue doing the same as tested above. Not sure how reporting and interfaces will work with it.
    Any pointers will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Ouch!!! I will definitely say that I am sorry for the sweeping generallization of my comment ...
    For anyone who has taken offence to my posting that the US of A is a "mono-culture" - I am SINCERELY sorry.
    Just for your reference, I studied and worked in the US (NJ specifically) for almost 9 years. I agree that there are many cultures and ethnicity that are scattered (& concentrated) around the country.
    My gripe is as follows - not just for Apple, but for all software manufacturers throughout the world. Consideration from the onset for multiple language (display and input) is very important.
    The main reason I started using the iPod is that it is multi-lingual ready. I was an ardent supporter of the Creative Jukebox (being a Singaporean company) but was quickly put off by its inability to read Unicode.
    Similarly - I switched from WinAmp to iTunes was for the sole reason that iTunes did not need a separate plug-in to recognize Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, French .... languages.
    The other side of it is that many "standards" are biased towards using the English language as a standard of communicating and documenting. This is due to the natural realization that it is a very common language (but incidentally not the most spoken, written &etc).
    But I digress - as you stated - this is neither a political nor a cultural forum. The wonderful thing about the Mac is that it transcends these boundaries. I am a Switcher - having used and am still using Windows. But the issue is why would Apple have been such a hit with the Japanese since its inception while the others have taken the path of mass appeal.
    So now I stand down from my soap box.
    Again - for those who have taken offence to my statement - my apologies!

  • Multiple language support using UFL (or not)

    Dear forum members,
    I saw in another thread that it's possible to get a multiple language support within CR.
    I have to implement that functionality in my reports and I saw that it would be possible using a UFL but I dont really know how to do that.
    The text to be traduced is in a database, I have many ideas to deal with it but they are heavy or not really right.
    This issue must have been solved by someone before...
    Any keys?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not a trivial task. You will essentially have to create a UFL that converts wide char to MBCS and passes it back to report formulas. E.g. all of the fields that need to be translated will have to be in a formula - that is how UFLs work.
