Multiple languages double-byte characters

idiot

Is there anyway to displace non-English languages or double byte characters without switching the "language for non-unicode programs" under the regional settings?

kine

Because NAV is not unicode, no-there is no way around.

idiot

Thanks.
Would like some advise over this issue:
Does it mean that for each language there must be a separate physical server?
Any word on this limitation going to be resolved in newer versions?

You do not need new server, if you are using MS SQL, you need separate database.

I've tried on SQL, the server is defaulted English & the double-byte data appeared as gibberish.
If I set the "language for non-unicode programs" under the regional settings to the appropriate character set, the data appears fine for the corresponding character set in navision.
The problem is some other applications would use the selected character set instead of English......

Yes, but it is "Microsoft"... :-)

The settings are global and if you are using other non-unicode applications, they will have problems. As solution can be to run NAV through some remote services like Citrix or Terminal Services.

Or for some applications you can use Microsoft tool, which is able to simulate another language per application (it "switch" the settings without restart and admin rights for the application, but it is not working for NAV). Try to google it. I do not know the name...
