Chapter 3. Upgrading to Multilanguage<br />
Prerequisites<br />
16<br />
To follow the procedures described in this chapter, you need three databases:<br />
The current translated, localized, add-on integrated and customized Navision<br />
Financials database, referred to in this chapter as the customer’s current database.<br />
A translated, localized and add-on integrated, but not customized, Navision<br />
Financials database, referred to in this chapter as the old base version.<br />
The new Navision 4.0 database with the English (United States) code base,<br />
referred to in this chapter as the new base version.<br />

The procedures and examples use Navision Financials 2.60 as the version number for<br />
the customer’s current database and for the old base version, but you can follow the<br />
same procedures for earlier versions of Navision Financials as well as Navision<br />
Manufacturing, Commerce Portal, and Commerce Gateway.<br />

You must use the Navision C/SIDE for all three databases. This means that whenever<br />
the procedure tells you to open a database, you should open it in Navision.<br />

Language Settings During Export and Import<br />
When you export and import Navision Financials or Navision objects in text format,<br />
you must ensure that the language settings do not change.<br />
If you change the current language settings, Boolean properties such as<br />
Editable=Yes/No will create conflicts since the language of the Boolean values in<br />
object text files depend on the current language.<br />
This means that if you export objects to a *.txt file from a database where the<br />
current language is German, you must ensure that the current language in the<br />
database into which you import the file is also German.<br />
Translation Database<br />
In order to translate the code base in the customer’s current version, you need a<br />
translation database. Contact your local Microsoft Business Solutions office to get this<br />
file.<br />
The translation database is based on the country's localized base version, and an<br />
English version of the country's localized base version. If your local Microsoft<br />
Business Solutions office can supply your with an *.mdb file for the NLW, this could,<br />
for example, be called Country Base Versions.mdb or the equivalent.<br />
Your local Microsoft Business Solutions office may also make an English version of<br />
the country's localized base version available to you. If not, you must create it yourself
