Hello group members,

Can someone give a tip on how to display a i18n string in a label?. The
i18n string to show depends on the value of a report parameter. For
example, if the parameter "datatype" is "M" I want to show the string
"Measured" or "Medido" depending on the current selected localization, if
its "R" it should show "Reconciled" or "Reconciliado".

Thanks in advance,
Javier

Hi Javier,

for the use of language specific ressources please have a look at the
class java.util.RessourceBundle.

With this class you can specify message ressoucefiles in a
key-value-pair-style and load it specificly for a locale.

Best regards

Gregor

Hi George,

Thanks for your help. I already knew about the ResourceBlunde class. I was
looking for a method to do the i18n without having to instantiate this
class. For example, it might be usefull to have a getMessage method in the
report class in order to access strings included in its i18n resource
files. Having the ability to show i18n text when displaying parameters
values in a combo box and when mapping values, would be great also. I
guess these i18n "problems" will be addressed in future versions.

Best regards,
Javier
