Localize Report

I've read several places that there isn't a way to localize reports at run
time of a report, so I wanted to ask what is the "best practice" of deploying
the reports if you have some clients that might want to view 'English'
reports and others who might want to view 'German' reports. I'd like to
avoid having duplicate reports, but it really sounds like this is my only
option.
Any ideas you have or suggestions of articles to read on the topic would be
greatly appreciated!
DanYou could put all of the formatting and vocabulary in functions, and vary
them based on a parameter, using =Iif(...) or =Switch(...)
With this approach, or with a duplicate report approach, you could adopt an
automated search/replace process to go through the RDL file and alter it to
support multiple languages.
Cheers,
