Impromptu -Multi-language report

[GilMerc]

HI,

I would like to know how can I produce a report in multiple language, for exemple french and english whithout creating a new report for each language. Is it possible to define dynamic field for title of report, title of columns, header, footer, etc.

In fact, I want to pass a parameter (F for french and E for english) to report and show title of report, title of columns, header and footer in a right language by using some method.

Is it possible to use a variable in all cases (title of column for exemple and what's happen for a cross table report) and linking them with a file reference?

Somebody has ever try this?

Gilles.

The way Cognos suggests working Multi-lingual data solutions is as follows.
Have separate rows in the database for each language. Then set your filter to decide the language choice. This does not cover your Headers though, except in a crosstab.
In the instance of Headers, Footers, and Titles you'll probably need to do an If-Then-Else statement.

Pain is stress leaving the body.
