Localization of general Report Properties(Title, Description, Comments) [message #771558]

I have developed some reports and i have localized each part of the report, the only properties that i can't find how to localize is the general report properties like for example :

Title
Description
Comments

Is there a way to localize/translate these properties ? How ?

Select the properties view for the report and under advanced you can set
the Description key and Title key. I do not believe you can do this for
comments.

I have tried doing as you said but it doesn't work, i mean when i get the value from the API the returned value is the default not the translated key ....

reportDesign.getTitle();

return the default value between the tags and not the value in the key :

<text-property name="title" key="ReportTitle">Title Alessio</text-property>

Is it a Bug ?

That is correct you may have to do the lookup yourself. For example I
could put in a onCreate script on a label that looks like:

this.text =
reportContext.getMessage(reportContext.getDesignHandle().titleKey)
