SQL Server Reporting Services UI Language

Question

I would like to make translation to provide native language support for SSRS tool in my native language. How can I make contribution?

I have tried to override the ReportingServicesWebServer.dll instead with translated content but I got signature error on the service run (Strong name signature could not be verified. The assembly may have been tampered with, or it was delay signed but not fully signed with the correct private key.)

Answer 1

Hi @Ayca Akcay ，
Thank you for your dedication on the translation，but i am afraid this is not supported currently on reporting service.

Note that Reporting Services does not provide language conversion features. User-defined names for folders, reports, models, shared data sources, and resources appear in the language in which they were defined.

I refer to this thread：https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/sql/sql-server-2008/ms156493(v=sql.100)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Well, I would like to translate basicly all of the .resources extensioned resource strings embedded inside ReportingServicesWebServer.dll, ie. MissingValueClientError in Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Errors.resources, or the resources in Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Strings.resources. I could not find any legacy method to overwrite those embedded string resources which welcome the user when they run the report in SSRS portal so that the report consumer users are welcomed by native language and understandable exceptions in report viewer.

If there is a legacy way to do so, I would like to contribute in translation. Or is there a documentation on how to generate my own language dlls like the other ones in their language folders under SSRS/ReportServer/bin ie. ReportingServicesWebServer.resources.dll?

Thank you,
Ayça

Hi @Ayca Akcay ，

What kind of things you want to translate ，can you take a picture，and why you choose to override the ReportingServicesWebServer.dll ，where did it come from ？

I found a thread similar to your error，please check if it helps：https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20212035/how-to-fix-could-not-load-file-or-assembly-xxx-or-one-of-its-dependencies-st
