Localization problem

birtslash

hi guys 
 
in my report i use different methods for the localization. 
 
for simple values, i use the built-in BIRT feature and two seperate resource files, one for english and one for german (i.e. myReport_de_DE.properties and myReport_en_US.properties). then i localize the field values via the "Properties > Localization" dialogue. 
 
for elements containing "composite" values, such as messages using variables, i'm localizing the values via scripting. 
 
first, in the report's initialize method i set the global variable lc used as locale: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var l = params["locale"].value;
var arrL = l.split("_", 2);
lc = new Locale(arrL[0], arrL[1]);
</pre>
then, in the element to be localized i use for instance: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>importPackage( Packages.java.util );
arrParams = new Array(2); arrParams[0] = params["A"].value; arrParams[1] = params["B"].value;
reportContext.getMessage("msg_AB", lc, arrParams);
</pre>
 
in the report preview everything is displayed as expected, i can switch between different locales via "Preferences > Report Design > Preview > Choose your locale", the output is localized as desired. 
 
the problem appears when i generate the report via the ReportEngine API in the java code. when rendering the report i call "runAndRenderTask.setLocale(reportLocale);" for the RunAndRenderTask. My "locale" parameter is set correctly within my parameter map which i pass to the report design via "runAndRenderTask.setParameterValues(mapReportParams);". 
 
when the report is generated (either as html or pdf output), all values localized via scripting (i.e. via "getMessage(...)") are OK, but the localization via the built-in feature fails. It seems that the locale passed to the RunAndRenderTask is just ignored, instead that the system's locale is used. 
 
so do you have any hints on how to fix this behaviour? 
 
thanks in advance for any help, regards

Can you post your code for me to take a look at?

OK. sorry, my bad! finally i found the culprit;)... 
i assumed the birt engine would fall back to the correct locale, but it doesn't. my mistake was to use setLocale(new Locale("en")) or "de". it did not work since but my resource files names end with "en_US" / "de_DE". using of new Locale(lanugange, country)) helps here but i decided to simply rename my resource files to "en" / "de". now localization works even if i set the locale by using both language and country arguments.
