Installing translation files

[michael_hess]

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to give iReports a try so I downloaded and installed it (iReports 3.7.3) but I need the gui to be in german. I have read that I can copy translated language bundles into my installation folder to change the gui language.

Could someone please give me a guide (copy which file to which folder)  for the german translation files or point me to a guide?

I downloaded 'bundle_de.properties' from http://jasperforge.org/jasperbabylon/appdetails.php?appid=1 . Where do I put it?

I already set the program locale to german via ireport-3.7.3/etc/ireport.conf. ("--locale de")

 

Thank you in advance,

Michael

try this:

in etc/ireport.conf

find the row similar to this:

default_options="--branding ireport -J-Xms256m -J-Xmx512m...

and append:

-J-Duser.language=de

 

give us a feedback if it works...

Thanks for the help but no change.

 

The addition of --locale=de already delivers a half translated gui. I suppose it is just a question of translating the missing strings. Appending -J-Duser.language=de hasn't brought any further change.

 

My problem is just that I have no idea where to find the to be translated strings in the system or where to put the files from jasperbabylon to. I copied bundles_de.properties (http://jasperforge.org/jasperbabylon/download/1) and com-jaspersoft-ireport_de.jar (http://jasperforge.org/jasperbabylon/download/29/) to ireport\modules or ireport\modules\locale but no change.

 

If someone has knowledge of an already translated version of ireport designer (german) please do tell me.

there are many bundle.properties in the installation folder of Ireport... one for each modules of the application... but try to modify this:

\iReport-3.7.3\ireport\modules\com-jaspersoft-ireport.jar

open winth a zip/rar application viewer... and take a look to

\com\jaspersoft\ireport\locale\bundle_de.properties

 

next, yuou can try to find    " *_de. " in the installation folder and subfolder... you can se a lot of jar localized for DE locale.

give us a feedback...
