  Hello Jasiek,

  Two months ago I asked on this forum about translating reports using dxgettext. Nobody answered. I didn't get even "Noone use dxgettext" answer. I found myself, that FR3 is not compatible with dxgettext because of TWideStrings class.

  You can switch languages with the following command:
  frxResources.LoadFromFile('dutch.frc');
  
  Check out the RES folder of FastReport.

  Today I try to find on forum how to change in code paper bin. I'm not the first person who try to do it. I couldn't find answer to this question.

  FR version 3.21.22 has OnPrintPAge event.
  for example:

  procedure TForm1.frxReport1PrintPage(Page: TfrxReportPage;
    CopyNo: Integer);
  begin
  Page.Bin := 1;
  end;

  Wow, I didn't expect such answers.
  Bert,
  I didn't try to change engine language, but report itself. Finally I added some limited support for TWideStrings class to dxgettext. Unfortunately, my patch can't be applied to dxgettext, because FR3 uses own TWideStrings class, which is not compatible with TWideStrings from BCB/Delphi.
  
  Den,
  Do you have some other printing hints? How did you find Page.Bin property? Is it possible for example - to change printing quality?

  For example:
  
  Page.PaperSize
  Page.PaperWidth
  Page.PaperHeight
  Page.Orientation
  Page.Duplex
  
  Do you want change language at run-time or packages language?

  I'm not sure yet, which one will be more suitable. Now I change language run-time using TranslateComponent() function from dxgettext package. It works pretty nice - it's possible to retranslate strings in application code (cpp and pas files), forms (dfm) and fr3 reports (dfm).

  But why you didn't use standard FR functions(frxResources.LoadFromFile('dutch.frc') ?
  FR supports 31 languages.

  Yes, use recompile.exe utility.
