Reporting in Alternate Languages

Multi-language fields and text areas are available for reportable, visible and enabled fields across multiple applications, allowing for the generation of reports and invoices in multiple languages.

Content can be entered into multi-language text fields for all active system languages.

Effect of Setting a Language on a Report Request

Once active system languages are configured, the language for a job stakeholder or the default language when generating paperwork and labels for a job can be selected.

When a report is generated from a report request, the language on the report request report determines which text is extracted from multi-lingual string fields.

Effect of Language for Extraction of Data from String-based Fields

If a field is a string-based field that is configured to be l18n, and the report request's language differs to the default language, as defined by the DEFAULT_REPORT_LANGUAGE application preference, when a report is generated, then the specific language value of the string field is extracted and placed in the report DTO. If there is no specific entry for the string field in the specified language, then the default language value of the biofield is extracted and placed in the report DTO instead.

Effect of Language for Extraction of Data from Biofields

If a job or sample has a biofield which contains values for multiple languages, and the job or sample is in a report request where the report request's language differs to the default language, as defined by the DEFAULT_REPORT_LANGUAGE application preference, when a report is generated, then the specific language value of the biofield is extracted and placed in the report DTO. If there is no specific entry for the biofield in the specified language, then the default language value of the biofield is extracted and placed in the report DTO instead.
