Locale-specific viewing

The Viewer Java SDK can be used to enable locale-specific viewing for other languages when a web browser is used to access the viewer. Locale-specific viewing enables reports to be viewed with settings that are specifically tailored to the user's geographic location. This allows date and time formatting, special font sets, and currency symbols to be preserved. To use the Viewer Java SDK to display reports in other languages, the international fonts must be installed on the following machines:

Although some of the report contents (such as DateTime formatting) also rely on a locale setting, this setting does not need to be the same as the locale setting on the machine running the Java Reporting Component, RAS server or Page Server. In other words, client locale settings are used when locale-specific viewing is enabled with the Java Reporting Component, Page Server or RAS.

Note:    For currency symbols, the system locale is used and the browser locale is ignored.

Tip:    It is possible for the web browser's default language setting to be different from the system regional setting. For example, the system regional setting may be Chinese, but if the browser default language setting is English, the viewer is displayed in English. To set the system regional setting or the web browser's language setting, consult the documentation for your operating system or web browser.
