How to: Install Language Modules

To install language modules in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, you must first download the language module from Language Modules for Microsoft Dynamics NAV (requires PartnerSource login), and then you install the following different components separately:

• Server Component

• Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client Component

• Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client Component

• Microsoft Dynamics NAV SharePoint Client Component
