Hello,

Because we need to handle both english and french languages for our users, I have a dropdown list having the "showall" in french. Where can I change it to "All"? Does this embedded value come from the composer at creation time? If not, where is it?

Well!!!

I've been surprised when I launch the application by report caster and I took a look to the reports: the dropdown list-showall was in english.... That's perfect but why?

Does someone can confirm me the following:

The 1st pass I did was for french users. So there is a "SET LANG=fr" somewhere in a report.

Then a copy was made for english users, then the "SET LANG" was in comment. I did the test from developper studio but never executed it from Report Caster. From there maybe the language was reset?????? I can't explain...

Thanks to all reading my post and to those who can give me an explanation!

Is "Dynamic Language Switch" set up for the server you are developing on? You can determine this by going to the MRE login screen or the B.I. Dashboard login screen - if you see the "Set Language" drop-down box, then you can dynamically select the WebFOCUS language, which affects the error messages and the system text in the HTML Composer generated pages.

The system variable &IBIWF_language is populated with a two-character value based on the selected language ('en', 'fr', 'fc'). If your programming code needs to determine which language was selected, then the variable needs to be passed by the client. This is done via the Client Admin Console > Configuration > Custom Settings. You add this:

<set> IBIWF_language = &IBIWF_language (pass)


This is not required for system-level language behaviour, only if you need to program based on language.

For Dev Studio, I think you can first login to MRE or BID from an IE window - the same cookie is used by Dev Studio.

I hope this does not confuse things even more!

Thank you Francis. The language code is already customised in settings. English is our default, then we have FC.

So, this is why lauching from Report Caster brought back the value in english as desired.
Also in devstudio, the cookie was probably set to fc whichone was the 1st pass I did.

Good day. Smiler
