Crystal reports internationalization

#1

Hello,

We're developing a system using the Crystal Reports tool
bundled with Visual Studio .NET 2003 to build our reports.

Our system is fully internationalized, but AFAIK there is
no way to localize a Crystal report other than to translate
every label yourself (maybe using a third party translation
tool) and then writing code to choose which report to
display based on the current culture.

Does anybody know of a better way to handle this? If this
is the wrong newsgroup to ask this question please redirect me.

Thanks in advance,
Alvaro.-

If I'm not wrong I think you can define Variables instead of hardcoded
labels and pass the localized strings using the advanced features provided
by the Crystal Report Engine.
