Hello again!

Before life gets in the way, let’s try to wrap this up. If you have not red the first part, please do so before reading this one as some of the outputs of that part are necessary for the process we’ll see here. In this post I want to tackle the actual report. Since it’s not really data what we’ll translate I’ll call it metadata, but it’s not metadata either. We’ll extract all the titles, subtitles, text boxes, as well as which fields are used where, and crucially what’s the display name that is being used for a particular visual. Of course we may find a field for which no specific display name has been set, but we’ll use the original field name as display name and we’ll take it from there. But enough of all this talking, let’s get to it!

Hello again! This article is part of a series, so if you just discover this, I strongly recommend you start from the beginning. Let’s continue digging through the visual.json files. Today we’ll extract the fields used in visuals and we’ll figure out a way to extract the the first column of field parameters, where we set up the names we want to use. Yes, we’ll need to translate these as well.

Hello again,

after some inactivity the blog is flourishing again.  It’s not really something I control. When there’s something I want to write in the blog, I suddenly imagine all the bloggers out there about to write the exact same blog post elsewhere, so I just need to do it, and do it fast. This is something I’ve been doing for real, but really applies in general so I think many can benefit from it. I’ve been asked to take *the* report and make it bilingual. But bilingual for real, so this includes everything: Titles, legends, data, everything. This is a topic that has been addressed a number of times,  and yes, there are demos out there. However, the use cases presented in general are either very simple or they start with a project that from the start was known that it had to be bilingual. The reality is, though, rather more complex. I’ll try to write as I progress through this project once I have figured each one of the steps. Let’s do it.

Hello!

Today’s post is quite special for me as I wished that this day would come. When I wrote the article to generate the measures for a dynamic data problems button there was a section that read «So, let’s build this button then. This part, unfortunately cannot be scripted, so we’ll need to work a little bit.». Well, maybe this is a thing of the past. Let’s see how can we script this part too. Before going diving in though I want to thank Xavi Paterna for helping me out with his tremendous knowledge of C# programming.
