When a User With an Arabic System Prints The Report, The Position of Elements Gets Reversed.

Posted on by Momochi 1,036

Hello awesome community! I'm still learning AX and I seek your help if you please :)

I have developed an SSRS report, and it runs and prints fine with a user who uses the system in English.

But when a user who uses the system in Arabic, the position of elements of the report gets reversed.

For Example:

this is how I positioned the text element in the Visual Studio:

"Text in Arabic Text in Arabic Text in Arabic"

This is how it printed out with a user on an Arabic System:

"Text in Arabic Text in Arabic Text in Arabic" 

------------------------------------------

Is the "right align" the cause?:

What should I do? do I have to create a second design with every element reversed and check the language of the user on the controller? or HOPEFULLY! there is a direct and easier solution T_T haha

Thanks in advance!

    All the elements in the report is reversed. the ones on the left goes right and the ones on the right goes left.

    isn't there a property or some sort of setting that can be applied to prevent this?

    It's not related to alignment - it's because Arabic is "Right-to-Left" language.

    What can you tell us about your setup? What language does the user have in AX? Arabic? If so, isn't it the expected behaviour?

    Or are you saying that the language in AX is English and just the language in Windows is Arabic?

    Hi Mohammed and Martin,

    This post of mine is old and I believe I faced this issue for AX 2012 R2.

    The solution was:

    In Visual Studio > Open your report > right click the design and select "Properties" > There is a proprty I don't recall its name where you have to change it from false to true or the opposite from true to false.

    Sorry I don't have an AX12 environment and I don't recall the name of the property but I'm pretty sure it was a property on the design in the AOT report.

    For D365 There is a property you can change on the "text box" type of elements only that you can stop the transformation from left to right. for "table" element unfortunately I couldn't find a solution.

    Hope that helps !

    Do I understand correctly that you want to print a report in Arabic, therefore all labels will be read from right to left, but you want to keep the elements from left to right, i.e. in the opposite direction than how the report is read in Arabic?

    If so, I guess you're looking for a way to disable the support for RTL languages.

    no, i don't disable support for RTL languages.

    this sample for Arabic footer mirrored and system language is EN-US

    I don't speak Arabic, so I can't comment on it too much. But I would expect this text to be aligned to the right, instead of to the left, because Arabic is read from the right. Therefore it still seems to me that you know have Arabic texts behaving as if Arabic was Left-to-Right (LTR) language, although it actually is RLT.

    If you're an Arabic speaker and you tell me that the alignment is correct, I'll take your word for it.
