This User Function Library installs three new functions in the "Additional Functions" list in the Functions section of the Formula Editor inside Crystal Reports. Simply add the translated words into the dictionary and use these functions in the formula editor.

When you write a report, you typically describe the data in the report using column headings, a report title, text objects, etc. If people in other countries receive the same report, they may need the descriptions translated into their own language. Creating a new report for each country is the traditional way of providing everyone with their own language but that method has drawbacks when maintaining multiple copies of the report.

• The International UFL gives report headings in different languages, depending on the country you select. The theory behind this function is that you can write one report, and then use some functions to select the appropriate report title, column heading, and font for each country.
• Write just one report and the column headings, report title. etc will print in the language of the country you select.
• Maintain just one report and the translated strings are automatically inserted into the report title, column headings etc. The content is not translated, as it's in the database rather than being part of the report.
• The demo version holds only five words, but the full version supports 1000 words and includes a fully functional dictionary editor to manage and maintain the lists of words in each language.

Uses:

• Have column headings, report title, text objects and labels automatically translated into the recipient’s native language even though you write only one report.
• Customize any report to print descriptions in whichever language your report recipient wants.
• Add the words you want in each language you want.
• Add new words to the dictionary.
• Add a new language dictionary.
• Allocate a special font and font size to a Language Dictionary (requires Crystal Reports version 8.0 or higher).

And you can store any region-specific data in the language file, such as:

• An exchange rate.Manager name to sign a report.
• A confidentiality clause.

Benefits:

• Save time by not having to rewrite reports for different languages.
• Enjoy ease of customization/localization.
• Make translation projects easier, more accurate, and less costly.
• Reduce report inventory and needless redundancy.
