Localization from database in Telerik Reporting

I am currently testing Telerik Reporting to replace our current report solution which is some kind of scripting tool that pulls the localized version of a term from the database.

Example:

A label called "customer" would have a english definition (Customer) and a french one (Client). We get the correct definition from the database by calling a function like GetLabel("customer",user_language).

Is there a way to do the same thing except for including each "label" separately in the SQL query of the datasource?

We plan to use Telerik Reporting in an ASP.NET environment.

Solution

  • I found a way of doing this quite easily.

    I only had to use the User Functions that Telerik Reporting already support and then return the correct value.
