Managing two differents languages in a report

Hello!
I have a report that I want to visualize in 2 languages(french and english)
I wanted to use the visibility on labels with a condition based on the language of the user to display the label with that language but I do not want to do everything twice on my report.
It happens that I saw that you could use a properties file for the translations of words but my problem is that I want this done automatically according to the user language that is already defined in my database, I want to switch the language depending on the language of the user logged on ihub .
any help please.
 
Thx,

Hi Adamaa,
 
if I understand correctly you would like the report to detect the language of the user logged into iHub and then to display the report in such language. Is this correct?

Hi Icirillo,
Yes , it's exactly what i want to do.

icirillo

What iHub version you are using?

Adamaa Faal

I'm using the version 16.

The behavior you would like to achieve should be achievable by leveraging the standard localization functionality of iHub, the one you mentioned when you talked about "properties file for translations".
 
Some documentation can be found here:

Please find attached an example. Please deploy it on your iHub as an application. Then execute the report with an en_US user and you will see "Hello". Try to execute the report with a French user (select locale French/France) and you will see "Salut".

the application's uploading has failed, apparently because of the ".project " File. 
But i understand the idea. The switch is done in function of the users selected languages.
 
I try with one of my reports , I would tell you if I have some worries.
 
Thanks a lot.

try to import the project in Birt designer and then from there upload it as an application into iHub. You are welcome.

Hi,
 
If you don't want to set the locale by url parameter try to set report locale in the beforeFactory method if the locale differs from the profile settings.
 
In example by asking the user with a report param:
 
beforeFactory:
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
reportContext.getDesignHandle().setStringProperty("locale", params["ReportLocale"].value);</pre>
You could also execute some detection functions before to get the desired user locale from somewhere and set the value.
 
Best regards
