How to stop words getting cut off in text field Jasper?

[shehab.nearat]

I have a few textfields with parameters, so sometimes the parameters will be english sometimes french, so the length will be different. Im not sure how I can make sure for both english and french the words are never cut off, is this possible?

For instance say this is my text field with english text (imagine width ends after how):
 

Hello, how are you[/code]

Then french (widths ends after c):

Bonjour, ca va?[/code]

This is kind of a simplified example of what im facing, how can i get it to dynamically stretch such that it shows

Bonjour, cava?[/code]

I have tried setting these properties:

    <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.text.truncate.at.char" value="false"/>    <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.text.save.line.breaks" value="true"/>[/code]

and setting stretch with overflow to true.

If i try to hardcode the textfield size so that it works for english, it wont work for french and vice versa

Not to be too simplistic, but can you make the text field overly large so that it can handle both FR and EN values?
