The same report template can be reused for up to 6 different
languages (the default one and 5 alternative). Multilanguage
support means the label fields can be entered in different
languages. The report tasks_lang.xre is an example of
this.
In the report‘s properties, tab „Lang.“ up to 5 additional
languages can be defined. Recomended is the use of the ISO-3166
country codes to identify the languages but this is not mandatory.
In the Active lang. Field you can select the current active language which wil be used when the PDF generation button is pressed or for the Export FO function. Set it to Main is you have only one language.
Note that when exporting to FO, the file selection dialog will
display the current selected language and the proposed output file
will contain the country code suffix.
But before the alternative languages can be used, you need to
assign a value to each label field. Label fields are those
without an Xpath expression and therefore contain constant values.
Labels fields normally have this flag set:
The example below depicts how the „Task name“ field, has been translated to spanish and german, being the default language english.
At this point if you set the active language property of the

spanish, the PDF output will be in spanish
