Translating labels

When we created the Set Parameters actions in Tutorial4 we used entries in the Table of Names and Texts to define the levels of the Product hierarchy. In Application Studio, different languages can be installed so that users can view reports in a language other than English. Any terms to be translated when a user changes language must be combined with the Translateuniquestring function in the definition of the report. You may also need to add new terms and their translations to the Table of Names and Texts.

  1. Open the Tutorial5 report.
  2. In Design Mode, click B6, which contains the label Measure.
  3. Change Measure to =TRANSLATEUNIQUESTRING("Measure").
    Or, click Insert > Function in the toolbar. Scroll down the list of functions and select TRANSLATEUNIQUESTRING. In the formula which is displayed. Replace "multilingual text" with "Measure".
  4. Select Extras > Language Settings and select German(Germany) as the report language.
    "Measure" is replaced by "Kennzahl".
  5. Return the report language to English.
