Jukkie Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Is it posible to create a database in multiple languages? What I want is that the field label names changes after there is made a language selection. Example: Fieldname=field01 After selecting the language english the FIEL LABEL field01 should be replaced with NAME and when the language Dutch has been selected the field label should be NAAM English NAME: field01 Dutch NAAM: field01 Is there anyone who can tell me where to start?

Søren Dyhr Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Redesign the layouts to make the fieldlabels mergefields, where the fieldname in question uses a calculation to define it's appearance. --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukkie Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I sorry, but I don't know how to create a mergefield? Greetings, Jukkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Søren Dyhr Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 A mergefield is a way to display a field on a layout ...the way it's made is by writing a fields name inside << and >> as plain text. This means that where you label is in dutch do you rewrite it as: <<ContactName>> if the field in the fields def contain a field called "Contactname" ...this means you have to add calcfields for each label you need to produce localized texts to. To substrantiate this suggestion read about "merge" in help.... --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see it, HTH Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
