Localization Editor
- 2 minutes to read
The Localization Editor allows you to change the text of the localizable textual properties for all the controls in a report.
The left panel allows you to change the report’s language or add a new language to start localization. The right panel contains a grid that displays the property name, the text specified for that property in the default language, and the text for the selected language. Text strings of the selected language are editable.

Tip
When the Localization Editor is invoked, the grid in the right panel displays values for the report controls’ Text property. You can click the Property column header to modify a filter and select other properties or clear the filter to show all textual properties. Grid rows are arranged in the same order as report controls in the Report Explorer tree - from top to bottom and from left to right.
