Hi,
I use RB 10 with Delphi7.
Is there a way to display Greek captions on buttons, labels etc in the
preview form ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Manos,

ReportBuilder does not natively provide a Greek translation for the
component, however it is possible to create a custom language translation of
your own that does this. Versions of RB earlier than 12 allow for a single
custom language translation to be added. For version 12, we added the
extensible language architecture allowing the developer to add multiple
custom languages to the product.

Take a look at the documentation located in the \RBuilder\Languages\...
directory and the following article for more information.

Thanks Nico,
I did some translation, followed the readme instrunctions, set the
Report.Language property to lgCustom and yes it worked.
Unfortunately, it seems that if a report has subreports the subreport
language does not follow the main report's language and the preview form
remains in English.
Am I missing something ?

Hi Manos,

Which exact version of ReportBuilder are you using? I suggest updating your
version to the latest release of RB 10 and testing with that (10.09).
Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number for upgrade
instructions.

Moving forward hope you will be upgrading to RB 12, which includes many
powerful new features. Here is a link to What's New for RB 12.

Hi Nico,
I already have the latest release of RB10.
Anyway, this is how things are:
In delphi code I create a TppReport and then set it's Language property to
lgCustom.
If the report has no subreports then everything is ok, but if subreports do
exist then the preview form ignores the above setting.
A solution, I found, to this, is to set again the Language property to
lgCustom, but this time from within RB designer.
This however has the disadvantage of having to go into every individual
report (of some hundreds) to set the Language.
So, I wonder if and how the above solution can be accomplished within delphi
code.

Hi Manos,

Are you loading templates by chance? If so, you can use template events to
change the Language property after the report has been loaded in code
removing the need to alter all your reports. The OnLoadEnd event would be
best.

Thanks again Nico,

This seems to work (so far at least)
