Issue with Import-NAVApplicationObjectLanguage

DenSter

Don't really know what's going wrong here. I'm working on a US localization of a HUGE add-on (more objects than standard NAV), trying to use as much Powershell as possible. To minimize differences, I exported all non-ENU languages, with the intention to import them back in after merging the objects. I used the Export-NAVApplicationObjectLanguage command to create the language files, and Remove-NAVApplicationObjectLanguage to delete the languages except the ENU one.

After finishing the merge, I want to import the languages back in using the Import-NAVApplicationObjectLanguage command, but that gives me an unhanded error message that I don't understand (see below). Now I would get if the language files would depend on specific line numbers in the text files that would get screwed up by the merge, but I am getting the same error message on the original object files.

Even the object files that I exported the languages from will not import the same language files back in.

What do I need to do to successfully import language files back into my merged objects?

I think you cannot have * sign in destination path. Only folder or maybe directly one file name.

You are right Phenno. I was looking at the source path actually. I had copied the source path to the destination and forgot to remove the wildcard. the Destination only accepts a folder, as you correctly pointed out. After removing the wildcard from the Destination it added the language without a problem.

Nice
