Hi,

    Have a look at the example application available with qlikview installation.

    You will find them in "C:\Program Files\Qlikview\Example\Documents\Films.QVW"

    this example shows you hw to convert string in different languages.

    Hope this will help you

Regards,

Hi Kaushik,

yes, that's a very good example to translate a text, yet I'm facing a problem where characters from a MySQL datasource are not displayed correctly. I've tried changing the ODBC datasource to utf8, I've tried adding a 'codepage is' option after my connect statement, but I don't manage to solve it.

Typical symptom:

"Robin n'a pas de solution donnée..." (which appears fine in the web application where the data resides)

is displayed in Qlikview:

"Robin  n'a pas de solution donné..."

I'd be grateful for a suggestion.
