    Report Localization

    • 2 minutes to read

    You can create localizable reports using the built-in Localization Editor available within the Report Designer dialog or by utilizing AI-powered extensions for ExpressReports. Report templates (in an XML-like REPX format) can store multiple localization sets for all used layout elements.

    Report Localization Editor

    Localization Editor is a built-in tool available within the Report Designer dialog. To display the Localization Editor, click the hamburger button in the Report Designer dialog and select the Localization… option:

    VCL Reports: Open the Localization Editor

    Localize Report Layout

    To add a new localization, select the required language using the Language combo box. Use text boxes in the right column to input localized versions of the default (English) names displayed in the left column. The report layout preview automatically applies a new localized value once you move focus between editors.

    VCL Reports: The Localization Editor Dialog

    Save the report layout to store all pending changes.

    Switch Between Report Localizations

    If the current report template stores localizations, the Language combo box in the Report Designer displays corresponding localization names in bold, and you can switch between the base language (Default) and available localizations:

    VCL Reports: Switch Between Localizations in the Report Designer

    The TdxReport.Language property allows you to switch between available UI and report template localizations in code. Refer to the following topic for additional information: Report Viewer and Designer UI Localization.

    DevExpress AI-Powered Extensions for ExpressReports

    The TdxReport component supports the same AI-powered extensions available for DevExpress Web Reports – Summarize, Translate, Preview Generation, etc.

    VCL Reports: Report Preview Translation Example

    Refer to the following topic for detailed information in this regard: AI-Powered Extensions for DevExpress Reporting.

    Enable AI-Powered Extensions for ExpressReports

    You can enable DevExpress AI-powered Extensions in your ExpressReports-based application in the Project Settings dialog. Open the Reports tab and specify REST API endpoint URI, valid API key, and model/deployment name for the selected AI service.

    VCL Shared Libraries: The Project Settings Dialog - Report Settings

    To see the TdxReport component in action (including AI-powered capabilities), run the Report Designer/Viewer demo in the VCL Demo Center installed with compiled VCL DevExpress demos. Click different items in the sidebar on the left to switch between demo features.
