I was wondering is SSRS 2008 version has any capabilities to translate a report in multiple languages. I have a Report which will be used in different parts of worlds with different languages. German, Arabic and Chinese. Is there a way may be i can use a Report parameter and depending of the choice of language the column headers would change. I understand you cant do much about the data fields. Can someone point me in a direction where i can develop a Multi lingual Report? Thank youFM

Hi Farhan1, In Reporting Services, the report data is retrieved intact from the original data source. Reporting Services does not convert or translate data during report processing. For example, if the report data source is a Japanese database, the data that appears in the report will always be in Japanese. Based on your requirements, you can define different language versions of the same database, and then create a report that allows the users to select a data source at run time. In order to achieve this, you need to define an expression in the report that returns a list of possible data sources.
