  I read the following in Doc\w1w1nodbc.pdf on the Product CD:
  

  3.5 MULTILANGUAGE FUNCTIONALITY
  
  The Navision ODBC Driver handles the multilanguage functionality in Navision. The
  Navision ODBC Driver can retrieve the application data from Navision in different
  languages independent of the current Navision application language.
  
  When you are running Navision ODBC and you open the ODBC Data Source
  Administrator window from the operating system’s Control Panel, you can set up the
  Navision ODBC Driver as described on page 5. Use the Language field properties to
  set up the connection appropriate to the user.
  
  C/SIDE uses the following hierarchy when showing the application data:
  
  1 Global language
  2 Primary language of global language
  3 Application language
  4 Primary language of application language.
  
  For more information about multilanguage functionality, see the manual Application
  Designer’s Guide.
  
  
  Specifications
  
  The Navision ODBC Driver covers the following multilanguage features:
  · Table name
  · Field name
  · OptionString value
  
  When you link a table by selecting an application language other than the default
  language and this language has a corresponding output from Navision, you will notice
  that the value of the table name, all the field names, and the option fields within that
  table are shown in the language you selected.
  
  
  Limitations
  
  You cannot use the Navision ODBC to create a table with multilanguage Caption
  properties. This means that no matter what language has been chosen in the Options
  box in the Navision ODBC Setup window, the table that is created for any Navision
  ODBC application will use the Name property. No Caption property can be written to
  the application database.
  
  You will not be able to change the language choice in real-time mode. Navision ODBC
  can only accept one setting at the time of loading. To switch the language when using
  the Navision ODBC Driver, you must to close the Navision ODBC connection and
  thereby release it from the memory, change to the preferred language in the Options
  box in the Navision ODBC Setup window, and start the Navision ODBC connection
  again.

  So I guess the answer to this one is YES.
