Static Text & Dynamic Text

mg81

I have requirement in my report where I need to display something like this:

"Static Text <Dyanmic Text>"

I can use a text element or data element for this but how can I have the static text localized. One way is to keep the static text as label & dynamic part as text or data element. Is there a better way exists?

This becomes even more challenging when based on locale the sentence changes. For example:

In English: "Static Text <Dyanmic Text>"
In say French: "StaticText1 <Dyanmic Text> StaticText2"

Is there a way to achieve this?

Have you tried using a text element with something like:

"Static Text "<VALUE-OF>reportContext.getMessage("text1");</VALUE-OF>

That will use the reports current locale. You can also set the specific locale

<value-of>
importPackage(Packages.java.util);
var lc = new Locale("de_DE");
reportContext.getMessage("text1", lc);
</value-of>
