This .exe file is a language module that can be used to run multilanguage functionality.

Important

You can only use this language module if your personal license file contains the language granule for this language.

Each language module only covers the functionality for one specific language. For example, the Danish language module contains all Danish text strings for worldwide functionality and Danish functionality. It does not contain Danish text strings for other local functionality, such as French functionality.

After you have downloaded the relevant language module from PartnerSource, create a folder for the language and unzip the language module in that folder. For example, unzip the Danish language module to C:\LM DAN. Each language module tool contains the following files:

The following procedures are described:

Adding a Language Module to the Classic Client

Prerequisites

You must have satisfied the following prerequisites to add a language module:

  • Increase the size of your Microsoft Dynamics® NAV database.

    If you are using the Microsoft Dynamics NAV database and not a Microsoft® SQL Server® database, then you must ensure that your database has enough space to store the new language layer. Remember to expand the database as needed before importing a new language layer.

  • Have a full installation of the Classic client, including all automation components. You must have a full installation to be able to compile all objects after adding the language module.

Installation

To add the language module to the Classic client

  1. Double-click the ClassicClient.exe file.

  2. Browse to the root directory of the disk drive where you have installed the Classic client.

  3. Click OK, and then click Unzip. This creates the following directories and files:

    • A new subfolder and files in the Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Classic folder for the new language.

    • A new subfolder and files in the Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Classic\BusinessNotificationManager folder for the new language.

    • A new subfolder and files in the Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Classic\BusinessNotificationManager\Templates folder for the new language.

  4. Click OK, and then close the WinZip Self-Extractor window.

  5. Start the Classic client.

  6. In Object Designer, select all objects.

  7. On the Tools menu, click Language Module, and then click Import.

  8. In the Language Module Import dialog box, browse to the new language subfolder in the Classic folder, select the .flm file, and then click Open.

    A status window displays the progress of the import. When the process is almost completed, a message is displayed.

  9. Click Yes to complete the language module import.

  10. In Object Designer, select all objects.

  11. On the Tools menu, click Compile. Click Yes.

When you have imported the language module into the database, you can delete the .flm file. You should not delete any other files or subfolders.

To select the language for the Classic client

  1. Restart the Classic client.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Language.

  3. In the Application Languages dialog box, select the new language, and then click OK.

Adding a Language Module to the RoleTailored Client

For each language that you want to use with the RoleTailored client, you must have imported the language into the SQL database. You can then add the language module to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

To add the language module to the computer running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server

  1. Copy the Service.exe file to the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

  2. Double-click the Service.exe file.

  5. Click OK, and then close the WinZip Self-Extractor window.

  6. Restart Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

Once you have installed the language module on the computer running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server, you can add the language module to the computer running the RoleTailored client.

  7. In Windows Explorer, delete all language folders and files that were created when you installed the language module.

When you restart the Classic client, the language module that you deleted is not displayed in the Application Languages dialog box.

Setting Up Multiple Document Languages

When a language module is installed, you can enable multiple document languages functionality to print documents. When you print a document such as an invoice, it is printed in the preferred language of the recipient.

For example, you can specify a language code on the Foreign Trade tab of a customer card. When you print documents for this customer, they will be printed in the language that you specified for this customer. The client language does not affect the printing language of the documents.

For more information, see the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Developer Help.

Notes

Charts

The charts that are included with the RoleTailored client and that can be inserted on Role Centers are not translated when you add a language module. Translations for standard charts are included in the Charts.exe file. To display a translated chart on the Role Center, import the relevant chart (.xml file) from the Charts.exe into the database and then personalize the Role Center to use the translated chart.

Personalization

If you have personalized a component such as a FactBox and then selected a different language, then the personalized elements are displayed in the original language. To view the elements in the new language, restore the default settings and reapply the personalization settings.

Uninstallation

If you uninstall Microsoft Dynamics NAV, then the language folders and files are not automatically deleted. You can delete these files manually.

Operating System Language

In the RoleTailored client, Help is always displayed in the same language as the operating system even though you can select another language in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. To display Help in another language, you must change the region and language settings of the operating system.
