The 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 ActiveReports.FlashViewer.swf file.

The default locale is en_US, U.S. English, but the included ActiveReports.FlashViewer.Resources.swf also contains strings localized for ru_RU, Russian, and ja_JP, Japanese.

To localize the FlashViewer for Russian or Japanese

1. Copy the ActiveReports.FlashViewer.Resources.swf from C:\Program Files\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6\Deployment (on a 64-bit Windows operating system, from C:\Program Files (x86)\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6\Deployment) into your project folder that contains the ASPX file with the WebViewer.
2. With focus on the WebViewer control, in the Visual Studio Properties window, expand the FlashViewerOptions node.
3. In the ResourceLocale property, drop down the list of values and select ja_JP or ru_RU.
4. Run the project to see the localized FlashViewer.

To create custom localizations

1. In the C:\Program Files\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6\Localization folder (on a 64-bit Windows operating system, in the C:\Program Files (x86)\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6\Localization folder), open the FlashViewer.zip file.
2. Using Notepad, open the Resources.properties file and localize the strings.
3. Email the localized FlashViewer.zip file to powersupport@grapecity.com to have it compiled in the ActiveReports.FlashViewer.Resources.swf file.
4. When you receive the new ActiveReports.FlashViewer.Resources.swf file, place it in your project folder.
5. Open the project in Visual Studio, select the WebViewer, and in the Properties window, expand the FlashViewerOptions node.
6. Set the ResourceLocale property to the new culture.
