What is the Crystal Report localization best Practice ?

Question

We have windows applications in VB.NET & VB6 contains crystal reports in it.
Please let us know what is the "best microsoft practice" to localize the Crystal Reports (in chinese)?

e.g. Translation of the following objects present in Crystal Reports:

1  Text Objects

2  Literal text inside formulas

3  Headers / Footers

4  Column Headings

5  Page Numbers (e.g. Strings like 1 of 20, One, Two, etc)

6  Text in graphs

7  Text in report parameters

8  Text in report summary such as title, keywords

9  Text in alerts

And also text comming from the databases.

Hi,

I'm afraid these can not be localized, we can only use dynamic localization to allow users to view ToolTips and other content of the CrystalReportViewer control in their preferred language.

You might need to create different report files and load the one with required language according to the enviroment locale.

For localization , please take a look at the tutorial about how to configure multilingual client support:

You can also download the associated Language Resource Files here.

For the question relating to VB6 is beyond the scope of this forum , you might need to refer to support of Bussiness Object .
