Language in warehouse mobile device

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MWAT 955

Hi experts,

Hi do I change the language in the mobile device for a certain user? I thought I could set the language on the worker connected to the warehose worker and that this language would be shown in the mobile device. Shouldn't it be possible to do it this way?

    Hi MWAT,

    The menu items in the WMDP are setup in AX yourself and are not multi-lingual. You can create a workaround by creating the menus and menu items per language and then assign a menu per Work user.

    Hi MWAT,

    Aside from André's suggestion for the menu item names, the language used on system fields on the hand held comes, according to the help, from the language of the WMDP service account user in AX. Therefore, if you require hand helds in different languages, I believe you'd need a separate instance of WMDP for each language!

    Hi MWAT,

    Though the question was asked long time back. Just want to share my views on this topic.

     AX shows the menus based on the language on the worker connected to the warehouse worker.

    In mobile device functionality, we have standard bug to show the description of the menus in RF screen.

    We can create a menu and add description in a specific language(for ex. Chinese).

    AX picks the description of Menu as label to show on RF screen.

    We need to make a change in code at one place to make this functionality uniform.

    Go to \Classes\WHSWorkExecuteDisplayMenu\buildMenu and in line 21, make it change to pass description from table WHSRFMenuTable, rather than simply MenuName, in argument "Label".

    For menu item, we can use Title field to enter description in specific language.

    Hope this helps.
