English French Print Layout
English French Print Layout
I was hoping to reach out to all you talented people and see if any of you have an English/French layout for printing setup already. One that asks you which language you want when you go to print. I just want to get a layout setup quickly and I can manage editing a bit (Yes I am a rookie). Anyways, hope someone can help me out.

There is a report file with language selector, which you can use to see how it was implemented: A5Logbook.zip
When you print, there is a language selection box coming up:

Thank you. I saw that. Is it very hard to change or add French to one of the options?

I don't know, I haven't created this report and I haven't looked how this is done. Does it really need such a language selector?
I think it is a lot easier to just take an existing report file and simply translate all labels to French. This is very easy and all you have to do is opening the report in the report designer and double clicking all labels to edit them to French. If you save it to a different file, you have an English and French version of the same report and you can simply select each report file in the print dialog, depending on which language you want.
I think this is a lot easier than trying to do one report with both languages.

You are right, but sometimes I just want to learn too. haha. I figured it out by editing the user variables which then adjusts the layout accordingly. If i finish this soon, should i submit it to be posted in case others would like to use it?
Re: English French Print Layout
Great to hear you figured it out how it was done! Yes, if you want you can send me the file and I'll publish it for others.
