Translating graph labels to different locale

Question

Hello to all you Gurus.
We are in the process of localizing rtf BIP reports using different xlf files. After being successful translating everything (text, table headings etc), we've noticed that we were unable to translate graph labels. Those labels have been entered in the graph label dialog of the MS Word plug-in.
Any ideas how to resolve the above mentioned issue will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Struggled with this my self a few weeks ago. Unfortunatly chart labels and titles aren't exported within the XLF file.
You may solve this issue by adding the titles and labels within you XML dataset. In other words: create a view or table which contains these values and results in something like this:
<CHART_LABELS>
<CHART1_TITLE>Grafiek 1</TITLE>
<CHART1_ROWLABEL>Eerste rijlabel</CHART1_ROWLABEL>
<CHART2_TITLE>Grafiek 2</CHART2_TITLE>
<CHART2_ROWLABEL1>Eerste rijlabel</CHART2_ROWLABEL1>
<CHART2_ROWLABEL2>Tweede rijlabel</CHART2_ROWLABEL2>
</CHART_LABELS>
Within you graph xml select titles like this:
<Title text="{//CHART_LABELS/CHART1_TITLE}" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" />
Row labels like this:
<Label><xsl:value-of select="//CHART_LABELS/CHART1_ROWLABEL"/></Label>
Don't forget to add a language code or something like that. This should do the trick :).
Kind regards,
