3.3 Multilanguage Enabling the Database
object names with references to object captions, and it replaces references to field
names with references to field captions.
During this process, the tool creates a number of temporary folders and files, so you
must ensure that you have 100 MB available space on your computer to hold these
files.
1 Go to the database that you want to enable for multilanguage, for example the
customer’s current database, and open the Object Designer.
2 Export the objects that you want to convert by selecting them in the Object
Designer and clicking Files, Export.
Save the file w1260_object1.txt, where w1 is the country code, 260 is the version
of the application, object.txt indicates the file type, and 1 identifies the file as the
base file. Remember to save it to the right working folder, for example
C:\Multilanguage\W1\NF\260.
3 Open the new Navision 4.0 database and export a translation file by selecting all
objects and clicking Tools, Translate, Export.
Save the file as w1360_client.txt, where w1 is the country code, 360 is the
version of the application, and client.txt indicates the file type.
You use this file to ensure that text constants are given the same numbers as in
Navision. You should only create such a file if your Navision database uses other
text constants than the W1 version of the product.
4 In Windows Explorer, copy the conversion tools from the Upgtk folder to the
working folder, for example C:\Multilanguage\W1\NF\260. The files that you need
are:
conv-ml.bat
conv-ml2.exe
conv-ml3.exe
conv-ml4.bat
5 Go to your command prompt (or DOS) and change directory to the working folder,
for example C:\Multilanguage\W1\NF\260.
6 Enter the following command line, but exchange the files names for the names of
the files that you have created:
conv-ml w1260_object1.txt w1260_object2.txt w1360_client.txt 000
ENU 1033
where conv-ml is the name of the tool, w1260_object1.txt is the name of the
base file that you created in Step 2 above, w1260_object2.txt is the name of the
target file (the name of the base file, but version 2 rather than version 1),
w1360_client.txt is the name of the file that you use to check the process with (a
translation file as described in step 3), 000 indicates the start number of the number
