Error in Localization? [message #890231]

Hi,

it seems, that there is an Error/Bug in the Localization.

In my report I use 2 property files with texts. One is in english, and one in german. So in most cases everything works fine. My PC is in german, so usually eclipse uses the german locales. Then i edit the settings, and changed it to english. In the report, and the parameter, everything is in english, beside the Parameter group. That's the only thing, which uses the text from the german properties file.
After this i deployed it to the server for testing. The server is in english, so normally the english texts are used. then i added the parameter "__locale=de" to the URL. All texts are in german. besides the parameter group. This is english (the same for the helptext of the parameter group.
In the next step i tried to create a new parameter group... the same... also in a new report. Everywhere the same.

Do you think its a configuration mistake? Or is there perhaps a bug in BIRT? I am using Version 3.7.2

Dnns

Edit: I've got a further question: How can i have influence in the "default" *.properties-file? i ask. because i tried a locale, which doesn't exist on the server (i used __locale=ru, but ther is no *_ru.properties). Instead of using the servers locale, it uses german.

I believe this was a bug that just got fixed about a week ago:

Hi,

I followed your link. It seems to be the same issue. But how can I get the fixed version? On BIRT homepage, there is no newer version than mine, and in the bugreport, I can't find any information.

That is the 4.2 version of BIRT which should be released next week. You
can find candidate builds on the recent builds page.

Oooh.... i searched really long today, but there i didn't search. Thank you. I will try it as soon as possible. Wink

I have a further question: Why is the report as default in german, if i don't add the __locale parameter to the url?

I have a further question: Why is the report as default in german, if i don't add the __locale parameter to the url?

Edit: I found the answer to my question.

Quote:

"__locale" specifies the locale for the specific operation. Note that this will override the default locale. Order of precedence is as follows:

__locale parameter.

Locale from client browser.

Locale web.xml setting.

Locale for the application server.

Do you have a locale set in the preferences? If not set it should be
using your jvm default locale.

In which preferences?

Everything is ok. If you have a look at my Update to my previous Post, the order is ok.

Dnns

Edit: Ok it seems, there is an error. For testing purpose i just installed a dutch broweser. If the order, i postet before is right, the birtviewer should take the locale from web.xml, or from JVM. I have a german and an english *.properties file. If i start the report from the dutch browser, neither the german nor the english texts are shown. the webviewer shows the names of the elements. Regarding the BIRT Homepage(I would have postet the link, but I am currently not allowed to do this) this should be as in my previous post.

First check the advanced property of the report. Select the report
background, then click on the advanced item in the properties view and
then look for locale. Is it set? If so you can delete it. Next check
the designer preferences.

Window->preferences->Report Design->Preview

Look at the drop down box "Choose your locale"

Hi,

the error i described is in the web viewer, deployed on the server. So i think your second suggestion with the preferences will take no effect, only for preview.

You are correct but in the web.xml you can set the default locale as well.

In my web.xml stands the following:

<context-param>
    <param-name>BIRT_VIEWER_LOCALE</param-name>
    <param-value>en-US</param-value>
</context-param>

So if the browser is in a unknown language, i think it should use the english version.

I solved the problem now by adding a properties file withoug any language in the name. so now i have the followin files.

name.properties
name_de.properties
name_en.properties

So if the viewer doesn't know the language, it uses the first file, which is the same as the _en file

This still appears to be a bug. Can you reopen the bug?
