Translation of field value

[justamail]

Hi all,

 

I've got a small issue with internalization and translation.

 

Small example :

 

A field can have 2 differents values : blocked or active.

 

In my report, I want to use internalization and translate the value in the correct language (for example in french : 'bloqué' or 'actif'). So I would like to have an expression like :

 

$R{$F{fieldname}}

 

This doesn't work.

I read in the iReport user guide that the key name between the two brackets of the $R{} is not translated during compilation.

 

Is there a solution for this kind of thing ?

 

Thanks.

 

Greg.

Use the built-in str function:

Code:

str($F{fieldname})
