Setup a Foreign Language

In order to solve the issue with special symbols of foreign languages in NAV it is necessary to adapt the following settings: 
  • Change the Collation on a NAV database which supports the particular language. For instance, in order to make the German language supported, Collation on the NAV SQL database must be 'Latin1_General_CS_AS'
    * You can change the Collation using either NAV Client or a T-SQL script;


    Checking Collation in NAV SQL Database 

  • The Language for non-Unicode programs must be changed to the corresponding language. You should change the language in the 'Control Panel > Regional Settings' on a server where NAS service is started. Also an appropriate code page must be installed;


    Changing Language 

  • The possibility to make some changes when using a certain language inside the NAV Client, will only present itself if all settings described earlier are applied on your local PC.
