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:
The Java application server.
The machine running the web browser.
The machine running Crystal Reports
Java, RAS server or Page server.
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 Crystal
Reports Java, RAS server or Page Server. In other words, client locale
settings are used when locale-specific viewing is enabled with Crystal
Reports Java, 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.
