Note: Links will be available on or after the posting date.

I hope you find the information in this series useful. 

Please let me know if you have any translation related questions that are not covered by these posts.

[Edit] Developers, if you have created a translated version of Microsoft Dynamics GP or of an add-on product for Microsoft Dynamics GP, please post a comment (and link to your site) to tell us more.

  Hi Mohammed Microsoft does not have any Arabic files, does not have an Arabic version and does not support an Arabic version. A number of developers in the region have used the techniques described in this series of posts to create Arabic versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP. You will either need to contact one of these developers or look to doing your own translation.  I would suggest the former as it is a lot of work to translate Dynamics and others have already done it. Thanks David

  I believe I have read all the articles and blogs by David Musgrave and have searched the dexterity/GP documentation  I have a general idea about translations but am look for more info to write 3rd party translation .dic in dexterity.  How  does sylanguage work and what table does global LanguageID()  get the default language from.  Should I create .cnk files of all available languages for a particular company and load after the user selects the language of choice?

  How are we looking these days with language translations for GP?  What is the best solution for any of the Asian locales?
