I just want to know simply the steps to create reports in other languages.
If you do know something, kindly share with me the steps, sample code, data
etc

I am hitting a big problem that no one in this forum can answer.
The problem seems so simple, the report just cannot display text from database
that are stored in utf-8 format. The "&" is simply replaced with "&amp" when
report is rendered. Why????

To solve this problem I created a ASP Application. This application provides
a simple Report Manager and Parameter forms to the user. On the Parameter
form the user clikcs on "View Report" and the report get accessed with URL
Access.

The problem in reporting services in our project have been:
- Parameters can not be translated
- Dropdown list in parameters can not be translated
- Reportnames can not be translated
- Report descriptions can not be translated.
- The user can't choose a language
- Cascading parameters are not work realy, there are bugs init
- the layout of the paramter control in RS can not be changed
-...

For my oppinion RS doesn't support localization. I can't believe that
localization is not a requirement in most of the report projects.

In RDL "&" becomes stored as "&amp". I don't know how this can conflict with
your data, maybe this is a hint.
