  In SSRS I can set the Language property of a report so that the format of numbers, currency symbol, date, etc will be for a desired locale using Local Code’s (I.E. en-US or ja-JP).

  Does C1Reports have something equivalent to this? I just want the report to be formatted for a specific locale at runtime rather than the whole entire application.

  Hello,

  Yes, you can localize C1Report by clicking on Smart Tag of ‘C1Report’ and then ‘Localize’. You can learn more about the same from this documentation link:

  Let us know if you need further assistance.

  Best Regards,

  Hi Esha,

  You misunderstood my questions I am not asking how localize the C1Report UI. I am asking how to localize the actual report output. From what I can tell it just used the current localization settings of Windows. I’m asking if this can be overridden so I can export my report in German or Japanese format without switching the Windows settings?

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  you might try to change the current culture before generating your report:

  
  System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo ("de-DE");
  
  

  After the report is finished, you have to set the culture back to the previous value.

  Hope this works

  Hi,
  
  I would like to inform you that C1Report renders in a format as per the system settings. It is the default behavior. There is not property in C1Report for the same.

  However, you can use our latest reporting tool C1FlexReport instead of C1Report which has Culture property for the same purpose.
