Editing Local NLS

Logi JReport allows you to edit NLS for each catalog, report or library component as the report designer would with the NLS Editor in Logi JReport Designer. With the NLS Editor, you can translate a catalog, report or library component into different languages from the original one. This feature is provided to administrators only.

To edit NLS for a catalog, report or library component on Logi JReport Server:

1. Start Logi JReport Server and log onto the Logi JReport Administration page.
2. In the resource tree, browse to the catalog/report/library component for which you want to edit NLS.
3. Select the row that the catalog/report/library component is in, then select the NLS Editor button in the Control column. The NLS Editor appears.

   

4. Specify a report/component if you are editing NLS for a report/library component and catalog version as required.
5. Select the Add button above the Language box.
   • If you are editing NLS for a catalog, the Select Language Source dialog is displayed. Specify where to add the required languages, then select OK.
     • If Languages Supported by Logi JReport is checked in the dialog, the Add Language dialog appears. Select the required languages and select OK to add them.
     • If NLS Resource File is checked in the dialog, the File Upload dialog appears. Browse to the local folder where the NLS resource file is located, select the file and then select Open.
   • If you are editing NLS for a report or library component, the Add Language dialog is displayed. Select the languages in which you want the report/library component to display, then selectOK to confirm and go back to the NLS Editor.
6. The selected languages are now listed in Language box of the NLS Editor dialog. Select a target language from the box to edit NLS for it.

The selected keys are now listed in the Display tab of the NLS Editor. You can further edit the translation for the keys here if required. Select Add to Global NLS to add the display information you just specify to the global NLS library of the target language if you want to reuse them later. If some of the keys already exist in the global NLS library, the Add to Global NLS dialog appears for you to handle the duplication.
8. Switch to the Format tab, select , then in the Add Format dialog, where all the formats used in objects of the catalog/report/library component are listed, select the keys you want to customize and provide the target language format for the keys in the Format column, then select OK. The selected keys are now listed in the Format tab of the NLS Editor. You can further edit the format for the keys here if required. Select Add to Global NLS to add the format information you just specify to the global NLS library of the target language if you want to reuse them later. If some of the keys already exist in the global NLS library, the Add to Global NLS dialog appears for you to handle the duplication.

Select the Font tab, select , then in the Add Font dialog, where all the fonts used in objects of the catalog/report/library component are listed, select the keys you want to customize and give the target language font face and font size for the keys in the Font Face and Font Size columns, then select OK. The selected keys are now listed in the Font tab of the NLS Editor. You can further edit the font face and font size for the keys here if required.
