You can change the language that is used for captions in windows, on command buttons, and in other UI elements from both the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

To change the language from the development environment

1. In the development environment, on the Tools menu, choose Language.

2. In the Application Languages window, select the language, and then choose the OK button.

To change the language from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client
