Description donino donino CLA 2011-11-29 16:38:16 EST 
The group parameters prompts are displayed by using the application server locale, whereas it should be the request locale. 

This issue happens both with WebBirtViewer and a custom API servlet. 

For instance, if a WebBirtViewer is run in tomcat, with java starting option " -Duser.language=fr",  when using an url such:
http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=report/testlocale.rptdesign&__locale=en

Birt engine will correctly use "en" locale to get scalar parameters prompts, but will use "fr" for groups. 


This issue happens in a custom servlet/portlet context too:  using "task.setLocale(request.getLocale())" in a render task won't have any effect for groups, server default locale is always used.

I can't reproduce this issue.
Could you provide a sample report and screenshot?

Before running this example, copy the properties files in your webviewer's resource path root, and use URL parameter __locale with "en" or "fr" value  (must be different from your JVM's locale) to highlight the issue. 

Screencasts in the PDF file show the parameter dialog box results for 3 distinct scenarios:
1/Default locale JVM in english and url with __locale=en
2/Default locale JVM in english and url with __locale=fr
3/Default locale JVM in french and url with __locale=en

You can see the issue in action in scenario 2 and 3.

Please let me know if you need more informations

Hi,

unfortunately this bug is not still fixed. Use the rptdesign initially attached, and deploy it on a Birt WebViewer 4.2 with its properties files. Try to change __locale parameter in URL: it affects parameter prompts, but not group prompts.

I can not reproduce this issue with latest 4.2.2 build, both parameter prompts and group prompts can be localized.
