Internationalisation Support

Yellowfin has built in I18N or L10N, and if so, to what degree?
Yellowfin is fully internationalised and is currently available in Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and Malay.

The "logon page" is usually configured per installation - so we have not
internationalized it. Generally we provide clients the raw JSP which they then edit for their own look and feel etc. I understand you guys are doing single sign on so you will by-pass this page.

For the core application we use Struts internationalisation.
Struts Internationalisaton

Text within the JSP's have a tag

Example from the DashBoard JSP below

<img src="images/rpt_add.gif" alt=""border="0" />

The bean then references the resources file for the message key - mi.text.tab=Add Tab - also file attached.

The language code specified within the bundle allows multiple languages to be deployed within a single site. Yellowfin will detect the users default browser language setting and display text accordingly.

PDF Exports:
For double byte character sets the customer must choose the default PDF export fonts.
Since the font will be embedded in the PDF. The end user may have the option to change these fonts (eg there are 4 chinese variations).
