hi how can i test my propertie language files? 
 
i want to change the language in my report i tried with setLocale but its still in german

// Create task to run and render the report, 
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(deckblatt); 
task.setLocale(ULocale.ENGLISH); 
options.setOutputStream(fso2); 
options.setOutputFormat("pdf"); 
task.setRenderOption(options); 
task.setParameterValues(para); 
task.run(); 
task.close(); 
 
i insert deckblatt_en_GB.properties in the report resource tab and when i start the report via "View Report as PDF" its always in Engish and if i create it via java its always in german and i dont know how the change the language

i have a second problem 
 
how can i get the tanslation in a chart script? 
 
i need it in the onRender Event 
 
i tried with 
 
function beforeGeneration(chart, icsc){ 
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.impl); 
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.data.impl); 
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute); 
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute.impl); 
 
var chart = icsc.getChartInstance(); 
var yAxis = chart.getAxes().get(0).getAssociatedAxes().get(0); 
 
top_ml = MarkerLineImpl.create(yAxis, NumberDataElementImpl.create(min)); 
 
var rr = reportContext.getReportRunnable(); 
var grundwert = rr.getDesignInstance().getLabel("Grundwert").textKey; 
icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable(). 
top_ml.getLabel().getCaption().setValue(grundwert+" " + min+ " kWh"); 
top_ml.getLineAttributes().getColor().set(0, 0, 0); 
} 
 
but i get an error

hi,

the issue is that you added more properties files to the report than the one defining the default language. The only file to be connected to the report is the one for the default language. This file should be called:
deckblatt.properties in your case. BIRT looks for a file called deckblatt_en.properties at report runtime if the language is english, deckblat_de.properties if the language is german. If it can't find that file it will use the content of the deckblatt.properties.
So please remove the en_GB one from the report.

you can get a reference to the reportContext in the chart script by calling:
icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable()

Where icsc is the ChartScriptContext the variable reportContext itself isn't visible in this method.

By the way:
If you want to access a key in the properties file in the current language you can simply use:
reportContext.getMessage("mytextKey", reportContext.getLocale())
So you don't have to create a lot of labels just to get some keys out of the properties file.

let me know if this works for you

ok i changed it

and via "view as pdf" it works with default and english

but when i create a report with java all labels are empty

i tried without task.setLocale();

and with task.setLocale(ULocale.ENGLISH);

i think the report cant find the PROPERTIES file but its included in the resources ...
