Preview a Translated Report Design

Create a report design file and the resource files that enable the translation of its labels.
Report Designer uses your locale preference to determine which language to use when previewing a translated report. You must have created a translation resource file for any language you want to preview in.
  1. To set the locale preference, select
    Window
    Preferences
    .
  2. Expand the
    Report Design
    node and select
    Preview
    .
  3. From the
    Choose your locale
    drop-down list, select a locale.
  4. To preview the report, select
    Run
    View Report
    As PDF
    .
    After you deploy a report design with translation resource files to Workday, the server runtime selects the properties file automatically, based on the .properties suffix string included in the filename that corresponds to the user's preferred display language, or the default properties file, if a language-specific file isn't available. The first properties file in the list is the default file for the business form layout that uses the report design.
Report Designer previews the report with its label text translated into the language specified in the locale preference.
