Multilingual e-Form

e-Form Designer provides the OZResource dataset which can have rows for all resource components in the form. And each resource component item can have text values in multiple languages in multiple columns in the row.

Run example

Add language resources

The data type of Label, FixedTableLabel, Note, TableTitle, CrosstabHeader, CrosstabValueTitle, or GanttChartTitle component can be changed to Resource from Normal. And then values of these component can be extracted in multiple languages from the OZResource dataset.

Now let's change the Preview language to ko/KR and preview the form.

Let's change font to Korean font.

Convert normal type to resource type

When there are so many labels for multiple languages it is very cumbersome job to add every label items in the Edit Resource dialog. But don't worry, you can automatically add all label items to the OZResource from the forms all at once.

Open the Convert normal type to resource type dialog, check the Label only.

You will see all labels are added into OZResource at once.

Next, open the Edit Resource dialog, add Korean language.

And then put Korean text value for each label component.

Now let's preview the form.

Finally, you can set viewer language from the application as below.

var lang = "ko/KR"; // en/US by default
oz.sendToActionScript("global.language", lang);
