Localization

To localize the Bold Reports® React Report Designer, refer the culture script files for your culture and set the culture name to the locale property. Localization is the process of customizing the application for a given culture and locale, which involves much more than the simple translation of text. In the Report Designer, localized strings appropriate to each culture are stored in separate files and loaded according to the UI culture setting.

Follow these steps to localize the Bold Reports® Designer version higher than v5.2.xx.

By default, the Report Designer displays strings in US English (en-US).

To render the static text with specific culture, refer the following corresponding culture script files and set culture name to the locale property of the Report Designer.

  • ej.localetexts.fr-FR.min.js

  1. Refer to the ej.localetexts.fr-FR.min.js script file from node_modules in App.js or App.tsx file.

    import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
//Report Designer component styles
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Content/v2.0/tailwind-light/bold.report-designer.min.css';
//Report Designer component dependent scripts
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/common/bold.reports.common.min';
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/common/bold.reports.widgets.min';
//Report Viewer and Designer component scripts
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/bold.report-viewer.min';
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/bold.report-designer.min';
//Reports react base
import '@boldreports/react-reporting-components/Scripts/bold.reports.react.min';
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/localization/l10n/ej.localetexts.fr-FR.min.js;
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/localization/reportdesigner/ej.localetexts.fr-FR.min.js';
import '@boldreports/javascript-reporting-controls/Scripts/v2.0/localization/reportviewer/ej.localetexts.fr-FR.min.js';

declare let BoldReportDesignerComponent: any;

var designerStyle = {
  'height': '700px',
  'width': '100%'
};

function App() {
  return (
    <div style={designerStyle}>
    <BoldReportDesignerComponent
    id="reportdesigner_container"
    serviceUrl={'https://demos.boldreports.com/services/api/ReportingAPI'}
    >
    </BoldReportDesignerComponent>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

  2. Open the App.js or App.tsx and assign the locale for Report Designer.

    function App() {
  return (
    <div style={designerStyle}>
    <BoldReportDesignerComponent
    id="reportdesigner_container"
    serviceUrl={'https://demos.boldreports.com/services/api/ReportingAPI'}
    locale="fr-FR">
    </BoldReportDesignerComponent>
    </div>
  );
}
