Sounds like you want the data of the report in Spanish? WebFOCUS can't do that.

Swati, if you want eg. column titles translated then you can pick up the column text from a table with a language code and a column code. I've done this for a financial Group Consolidation system.

Yes, you can have almost anything displayed in your language of choice. The webfocus strings are almost all translatable by means of setting the nls characteristics as indicated before.
Column names and titles of fields can be set in the required language by adding them to the master file - there are things in place to have multiple titles depending on the language set.
But what you can't do is translate the contents of the fields. That will just display as is - it's database controlled, not webfocus controlled.
What you can do is redesign your database, so that for every language you need to report in the fields are duplicated. But that would be a bit too much IMHO.

Swati,

You can do 1 of 4 things:
1. Have 2 copies of each focexec, one in English and one is Spanish (not recommended...)
2. Use &variables for each HEADING and FOOTING and Dialog Manager to choose the text according to one variable which defines the language. Use the MASTER file for TITLEs.
3. Use only &variables as above and put all the values in a database. You then load values into the variables at the beginning of your focexec.
4. We have done this and can provide the environment.

Documentation, documentation, documentation!

Describing Data With WebFOCUS Language > Describing an Individual Field > Multilingual Metadata Take a look at "Specify Multilingual Metadata in a Master File" and "Activate the Use of a Language".

These topics are available via the provided link and also via Dev Studio Help.
