The Locale File

The static text content displayed by the report wizard at runtime can be customized and modified by use of the report wizard's LocaleFile property. e.g.
objWiz.LocaleFile = "locale.xml"
The Locale file which can reside anywhere on your network, contains the text and title definitions displayed by the generated reports. Note:
  1. If the locale file is not set, the report wizard will use it's default settings which are all basically English text.
  2. If the locale file is set, but the file does not exists in the specified location, the report wizard will create a locale file with the name specified with the default english definitions. We will add other languages as soon as we get them translated.
    If you have translated a copy of the locale file, you can send a copy to support@aspwebsolution.com so that we can include it the build.
You can then conveniently switch your reports from on language to the other as follows: 
<%
If CBool(Session("UseImages")) Then
    strLocaleFile = "locale_images.xml"
Else
    If Session("Lang") = "German" Then
        strLocaleFile = "locale_german.xml"
    Else
        strLocaleFile = "locale.xml"
    End If
End If
%>
The report wizard's default locale file, looks like the output below:

**********************************************************************************
*          locale.xml
