It's actually very easier, but depending on the size of the application you might want to contact Navision Software. They have a so called "PRODUCT TOOLKIT" available. Or had. I haven't seen or heard about it in years now. But it is(was) a Navision 3.5x based tool where you could import this text file and then you could "browse" through the objects and translate text for text. You could even have it come up with a translation suggestion so that all standard words was translated from DK to W1 (i.e. Kundenr. to Customer No. or Navn to Name).

If Navision Software will help you, then please contact me again.

I have recently translated the WHOLE of NF 2.01A to Afrikaans. I couldnt find the product toolkit and did it all using MS Access. The only problem with translating this way is that you cannot change the fin.stx file and dialog boxes still display "Yes" "No" etc in thew original language. I would appreciate if anyone can supply details on how to change the .stx file.

I was asked about that 2 month ago our local NF center. They told that it exists, but it needs special licence. Sure NF don't share it to NSC. Using this tool u can change *.stx *.etx too. This tool is used for localization of NF. As I heared localizacion functions can not be shared in local zone.
Funny ?!?!? :
if you need to traslate obj use MultiEdit <img border="0" title="" alt="" src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" />
if you need edit stx or etx find cracker <img border="0" title="" alt="" src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" />

Anyway, I will be very glad to see there results of contacting with NF. Translation is important to me too.

REgardless of the tool, you cannot change the STX file, as it needs to be "sealed". This "sealing" can only be done by a license file belonging to Navision Software a/s or one of the Navision Software Local Offices.

Anyway, it is not really necessary to change the STX if you are translating your application into a language already supported by Navision.
