Configuration Multilanguage Fields Support (OP)

To enable support for Multilanguage fields:

1. Start the Parameters Multi Language Support (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 Obsługa wielu języków danych check box.

4. Use the Wszystkie języki danych zawsze dostępne check box to specify whether all language variants should be read:

   • Jeżeli to pole wyboru jest zaznaczone, then for multibyte fields that are “Multi Data Language Enabled” all language variants are read.

     This might result in reduced performance in sessions with multilanguage fields.

   • Jeżeli to pole wyboru jest odznaczone, then only the language variants of the user's language are read. When a report is printed, the application can select the language that is read from the database or force to read all languages.
5. Save the changes and close the session.

To define data languages:

1. Start the Języki danych (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 Języki ISO 639 (ttaad1512m000) session and the Kraje ISO 3166-1 (ttaad1513m000) session.
3. Define the base language: Select a data language and, on the odpowiedni menu, click Uczyń podstawowym językiem.

   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 odpowiedni menu, click Konwertuj języki danych do runtime. 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 Języki danych (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 Języki oprogramowania (ttaad1510m000) session.
2. To start the Języki oprogramowania (ttaad1110s000) session, double-click a software language. In the Język danych field, enter the desired data language.

   Note:

   • You can zoom to the Języki danych (ttaad1111m000) session.
   • You can only select data languages with status "Base Language" and "Available".
   • If you leave the Język danych 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 Zarejestrowane tablice z polami wielu języków (ttadv4137m000) session.
2. Select a package combination.
3. Add the tables you want to be Multilanguage Enabled.

4. Per table, specify whether all languages should be read for records from the table:

   • If all languages should be read, select the Wszystkie języki danych zawsze dostępne check box.
   • Otherwise, clear this check box.

   Note:

   • If all data languages are always available, this might result in reduced performance in sessions with multilanguage fields.
   • You can only clear this check box if the application feature pack is high enough.
   • The Wszystkie języki danych zawsze dostępne setting is saved in the data dictionary of the table. Therefore, after a change in this setting, a conversion to runtime for tables is required.
5. Double-click a table. The Zarejestrowane pola wielu języków (ttadv4138m000) session starts.
6. For each field you want to be multilanguage enabled, select the Włączone check box.
7. 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 Tables check box and the Reconfigure Tables check box.
3. For package combinations, packages, and tables, specify the appropriate selection ranges.

4. Click Konwertuj do runtime

5. Optionally, start the Dane użytkowników (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).
