Is it possible to get a text from a property file in a databinding?
My report must show texts in multiple languages and values in the database are always in english, then I need to get from the property file the text.

For example:

if(dataSetRow["FIELD"]== "Description"){

"Description" //How to get the value of "description" property and shows it instead datasetrow value
}
else if(dataSetRow["FIELD"] == "Price"{

"price" //How to get the value of "description" property and shows it instead row value
}

How can I do it?

I tried with reportContext.getParameterValue("Description") but it doesn't work.

Probably the best way to do this is to create message files and put them in the resource folder. Then if you are using a label report item you can add an onCreate script like:

var key = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("BINDINGNAME"); //where BINDINGNAME is the name in the binding tab
this.text = reportContext.getMessage(key, reportContext.getLocale());
Note that you have to add the message files to the report in the general properties resources tab for the report. You can also set the key directly without code in the label localization property in the properties view.
In the example you posted you could also alter it from:
if(dataSetRow["FIELD"]== "Description"){
reportContext.getMessage(dataSetRow["FIELD"], reportContext.getLocale());
}
