  Hi all.

  I installed Active Reports 17 on our software and after building I noticed the localization folders for Japanese and Chinese languages “jp”, zh" and “zh-CH”.

  What should I do to prevent Active Reports 17 from creating those folders?

  Thanks a lot.

  Hi Marlon,

  The ja & zh folders contain the resource files for the Japanese and Chinese environment, to display the Designer, Report, etc in Japanese or Chinese. As far as the ja & zh folders are concerned, it is required for displaying localized viewers or reports on Japanese or Chinese environments.

  These resources are added from the NuGet Packages by Visual Studio automatically.
  
  As a workaround, you may use a Post-Build command to delete these files. To delete the ja and zh-CN folder you may add the following command in the Post-Build Event:

  RD /S /Q "$(TargetDir)ja\"
  RD /S /Q "$(TargetDir)zh\"
  RD /S /Q "$(TargetDir)zh-CN\"

  For more information on Post-Build commands, you may refer to the following pages of the Microsoft Documentation and the StackOverFlow forum:

  • “https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/pre-build-event-post-build-event-command-line-dialog-box?view=vs-2022”

  The workaround works fine.
  
  However, I suggest you find a way to not add those files in the build.

  Thank you for the information, much appreciated.

  Hi Marlon,

  The developers have suggested that you can prevent these folders from being created by using the ‘SatelliteResourceLanguages’ property.

  You can refer to the following dotnet issue for the same: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/774
