(Livestream Replay) Making a Real Report Fully Bilingual: Harder Than you Thought! - with Bernat Agulló

DESCRIPTION 📄

Translating a model metadata does almost nothing in the direction of translating a real report. Translating the data is necessary, and you need to be able to translate titles and display names, even those coming from field parameters. Different strategies are needed to translate the different bits of the model and bring it back to the report so that with a single click everything changes the language. It's a lot of work.
