Configuration Multilanguage Fields Support (OP)

To enable support for Multilanguage fields:

1. Start the Parameters ondersteuning meerdere talen (ttadv4106m000) session.
2. Configure Multibyte and Unicode, and perform the required steps for this configuration. See the instructions displayed in the session's window.
3. Select the Ondersteuning meerdere talen check box.
4. Save the changes and close the session.

To define data languages:

1. Start the Gegevenstalen (ttaad1111m000) session.
2. Define the desired data languages. A data language consists of an ISO 639-1 language code and, optionally, an ISO 3166-1 country code. You can zoom to the ISO-talen (639) (ttaad1512m000) session and the ISO-landen (3166-1) (ttaad1513m000) session.
3. Define the base language: Select a data language and, on the Beeld, Referentie en/of Acties menu, click Tot basistaal maken.

   Note: The base language is used as a fall back language. Application data is displayed in the base language if both of the following scenarios occur:

   • No data language is defined in the user data of an LN user.
   • No data language is linked to the user's software language.
4. Convert the data languages to the runtime data dictionary. On the Beeld, Referentie en/of Acties menu, click Talen voor gegevens naar runtime converteren. The conversion process generates the $BSE/lib/data_langs file.

   Important:

   • Only perform this step if you are sure you no longer want to change the base language. See the restrictions listed in the online help of the Gegevenstalen (ttaad1111m000) session.
   • During the conversion to runtime, all users must be logged off.
   • When the conversion to runtime has finished, you must restart the LN environment.
5. Close the session.

To link a data language to a software language:

1. Start the Softwaretalen (ttaad1510m000) session.
2. To start the Softwaretalen (ttaad1110s000) session, double-click a software language. In the Taal voor gegevens field, enter the desired data language.

   Note:

   • You can zoom to the Gegevenstalen (ttaad1111m000) session.
   • You can only select data languages with status "Base Language" and "Available".
   • If you leave the Taal voor gegevens field blank, LN displays the application data in the data language defined in the user data of an LN user, or in the base language.
3. Save the changes and close the sessions.

For all package combinations you want to be multilanguage-enabled:

1. Start the Geregistreerde tabellen met velden voor meerdere talen (ttadv4137m000) session.
2. Select a package combination.
3. Add the tables you want to be Multilanguage Enabled.
4. Double-click a table. The Geregistreerde velden voor meerdere talen (ttadv4138m000) session starts.
5. For each field you want to be multilanguage enabled, select the Ingeschakeld check box.
6. Save the changes and close the sessions.

To convert the multilanguage settings to the runtime data dictionary:

1. Start the Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session.
2. Select the Tabellen check box and the Reconfigure Tables check box.
3. For package combinations, packages, and tables, specify the appropriate selection ranges.

4. Click Naar runtime converteren

5. Optionally, start the Gebruikersgegevens (ttaad2500m000) session, and define a data language per user. The data language specified in the user data takes precedence over the data language linked to a software language. For more information, see "Language types" in Multilanguage application data (OP).
