if (Properties.getProperty(“Locale”) == “French”) {
align = “Left”;
font = “Arial”;
}
else {
align = “Right”;
font = “Arabic Transparent”;
}

importClass(Packages.com.elixirtech.report2.raw.model.StyleItem);
var newStyle = getStyle(“Test”);
var alignItem = new StyleItem();
var fontItem = new StyleItem();

alignItem.setName(“TextElement.TextAlign”);
alignItem.setValue(align);

fontItem.setName(“TextElement.FontName”);
