convert numeric values into localized strings

ahsijetais

I have numeric values in my database and I want to display them as localized text strings in my report, such as :

database value 1 = "good" for locale en_US and "bon" for locale fr_FR
database value 2 = "bad" for locale en_US and "mauvais" for locale fr_FR

I could not find how to do it in the documentation.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

You can use the Map feature of BIRT. Select the data item, then the Map tab in the Properties Editor. Add a new condition, like map 1="good" and then select a Resource Key on the same screen. This assumes you have already created your properties file and referenced it on your BIRT report like described here.<br />
