Dear All, my company delivers machines all around the World so time to time I must use Russian language on production report. To have always the same form I have developped very simple multilingual report where I use system function translate(). Everything looks nice on development..... I create report, gather data, translate text and view it in Reporting module Preview with very nice result. Unfortunately when I display report in Vision Viewer the Cyrilic alphabet is replaced with squares.... Could You help me, please? ![Labels translation.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/8/78639e66a9153cf9484d7a1acef9acfb7be74e13.jpeg) The English labels are translated with phrases in Translation manager (The Arial font with Cyrylic characters is present on the server where the gateway runs) and in the report are available as Key [lbl] items ![Labels on report](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/e/3e122f15e55c90e94f7b208d89f1cde722baa94a.png) The Key [lbl] items are used in report design as shown above.. ![Report call.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/0/20d5f24f300022ee8366c6adb3b06ddc0ea22b3a.jpeg) Here I gather parameters, call report execution and load it into PDF Viewer as Bytes. ![Report preview ru.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/1/71ee1f2b79251920f0dc81aab5d50b2399b3db38.jpeg) In Reporting module Preview is everything fine ![Report shown in PDF viewer.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/9/89348bf39d085e72bc70b3d6d67d3b7617a6f11c.jpeg) Unfortunately in Vision viewer is text replaced with empty boxes, except the characters like "C" (the same in latin and cyrilic) and numbers. Text Dia is in latin even on russian report. Thanks Radim ---

I am thinking it's a local font issue. Have you, by chance, tried it in Noto Sans? This is a font included in the Ignition installs. Note that if you want to use them in Character Map, you will also need to install then in Windows. > **[Noto Sans - Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans)** > > Noto is a global font collection for writing in all modern and ancient languages.

People, it is not Reporting module but apparently PDF viewer issue . If I use Report Viewer insted of PDF Viewer on my window, then I can see everything correctly. So, there is new investigation direction 😃 Radim
