Multilingual Reports and Batch Printing

[ajmas]

I am developing an application that includes the printing of bills for customers. The customers can opt to have the bills print in their language of choice. The interface I have presents a list of bill to be printed for different customers, and the user can then select multiple bills to be printed and these bills each need to be printed in the appropriate language. Can anyone suggest to me how to achieve this in JasperReports? Also what is the best way to go about making the report templates localizable?

 For the text, you should use java resource bundle and setting the REPORT_LOCALE dinamically (when you ran the report).

You can see the "Internacionalization" section in the jasper reports tutorial

http://jasperforge.org/website/jasperreportswebsite/trunk/tutorial.html

For numbers formatting, you should use patterns int he textFields.

Will this apply to the whole batch or, per report?

I forgot to mention that the reports will need to be presented in the preview dialogue for the user to print or save them.
