Multi-language solution, special characters

CRinvCRinv Member Posts: 11
Hi!

I hope someone can help me. My company is making a solution for navision that is supposed to be multilingual comprising the nordic languages. We have run into some troubles regarding this. When we make our forms in danish and norwegian all the special characters are there and looking good (special characters as: æ, ø), but when we export these forms as fobs and then reimport them the special characters appear as different symbols, e.g. ½ and ™.

Does anyone know a way of working around this? The Navisions we are importing into are Norwegian and Danish versions. The Navision we are making the forms in is a Swedish version in English language-mode, using the ML-caption fields for label names etc. We would very much like to be able to use one fob for all languages.

Can anyone help, please.

    Are you importing the fobs into a database on another machine? Is the Navision client located on this machine too? Has this machine installed the charset for nordic languages?
    If not, do so and make it the default charset for non-unicode applications (like Navision).

    Hello! I have been away for a little while, so have had no opportunity to check in here. Thanks for the replies.

    To answer AK: yes, the database I am importing into is on another machine from the original machine that exported it, and I am running the client on this same machine. I think the machine has the nordic languages installed, at least it has swedish, and swedish was the default for non-unicode when installing. The quirk here is that in Navision itself (all it's buttons, menus etc.) the nordic special characters look fine, it's just in our forms that they don't. And they do look fine in the version where we export from.

    Mark: does that download also work with FOBs or is it just for text files?
