To enable multi-language support in Kyvos Reporting, ensure that both the Kyvos Reporting portal and server run in UTF-8 mode. UTF-8 mode ensures the system can load, process, and display multi-byte language characters.

Configuring Locales on the Kyvos Portal

Locales that users can select are managed through the ReportServerProperties.xml located at
<Kyvos Reporting installation path>/kyvosreporting/ReportEngine/Config

Adding a Locale

To add a locale, update the DEFAULT_LOCALE options tag in the file. For example, to add Chinese (Simplified), insert the following snippet under the <OPTIONS NAME="DEFAULT_LOCALE"> tag:

Removing a Locale

To remove a locale, delete the corresponding <OPTION> tag for that locale.

Applying Changes

Restart the portal and server after making any changes for them to take effect.

Configuring the Repository Database for UTF-8

To enable multi-language support:

2. Set the Charset Encoding to UTF-8:
   Navigate to Administration > Configure > Databases.

• Published Report Names and Descriptions

Field Captions in Local Languages

Field captions entered in a local language will appear as such in Ad hoc reports.

Localizing Portal Text

To localize all portal text:

1. Create a language bundle file containing key-value pairs for text strings on the portal.

2. Restart the portal after making configuration changes for them to take effect.
