Using javascript in Crystal Reports formula editor

Question

How can I go about using java-script in Crystal Reports formula editor ? I wish to write a function that will use Google Translation API to modify the report's data.

Thanks

You won't be able to use JavaScript in the formula editor. You will need to write a UFL to do the communication with Google. The function would probably require three arguments: text to be translated, from language, to language. The function would return the translated text.
