International support
Multilanguage support
Report Manager supports multiple languages. You can place several labels with the text written in one language, then go to page setup screen, change the language and modify each label to the selected language. The report will store all the strings for the languages of the report.
Unicode support
Chinese and other unicode languages
Report Manager supports unicode languages on Windows (using GDI) and on Linux, in preview and print. Complex text shaping and BiDi use DirectWrite on Windows and ICU + HarfBuzz on Linux. PDF output supports unicode and WideString languages, including complex text shaping with font fallback.
Bidirectional text support (Hebrew and arabic languages)
Bidirectional support is enabled with the Bidi Mode property for all text components, you can select:
| Value | Meaning |
| No Bidi | No Bidirectional support |
| Partial Bidi | Left to right drawing, horizontal alignment is not changed |
| Full Bidi | Left to right drawing, horizontal alignment is reversed |
For a more detail description see Bidi Behaviour.
Bidi reordering follows the Unicode bidi algorithm on every platform (DirectWrite on Windows, ICU on Linux), so mixed text such as Latin digits inside a right-to-left sentence is ordered correctly in the preview, on the printer and in PDF output.
