Locale set via report parameter [message #247720]

Hi all,

Is there a way to allow the user to set the locale of the report on the
report parameter screen? I mean, I tried and it didn't passed my first
test. The test was: to create a parameter named __locale, set it as hidden
and put the default locale as pt_BR. When I previewed the report it was
not translated, and if I put the parameter explicitely on the URL for
WebViewer it is translated. In other words, does anybody knows if this
approach works?

Regards,

Fuad Abinader

Fuad,

__locale is already a predefined parameter for the viewer.
To test this set the default locale in your designer options to say
Germany. Add a date field or just create a blank report that has the
date at the bottom. Set the preview options to use an external browser
and run the report. In the url change the __locale parameter to
&__locale=en_US&__overwrite=true.

You should see the date change format.

Hi Jason,

The point is that I do not want to set it at the URL, I want to allow
the user to set it on the report parameter UI, together with the other
report parameters. In order to do that, I've created a report parameter
named __locale, and set it to pr_BR, but it didn't localized my report. If
I put __locale excplicitelly on the URL, it works. Somehow I'm realizing
that these special report parameters like __format and __report cannot be
set at design time. Am I wrong?

Fuad Abinader
