Hide AllThe FlashViewer, one of the ViewerTypes of the WebViewer control, is localized separately from other ActiveReports resources. You can redistribute the Flash localization resources separately from the application so that you need not recompile the GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Flash.v9.swf file.
You can localize all of the UI strings, error messages, fonts, and images that appear in the FlashViewer in the included resource file, and send it to GrapeCity to be compiled into the SWF resources file.
 |
Note: If you are willing to share your new localization with other customers, let support know so that the updated GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Flash.v9.Resources.swf file can be included in future builds of the product. |
Included Localizations
The default locale is en_US, U.S. English, but the included GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Flash.v9.Resources.swf file also contains strings localized for the following languages:
