Posted on by 18,696

Hi,

Developing report in Navision 2016 and facing problem with multilaugnage. The second language is German and the some of special characters not showing properly.

If you put the contents in table it shows properly but when you put the contents directly in text constant or label it is showing different characters.

Kindly let me know if anybody have any solutions.

Thanks

    What is your charset, is it UTF or Unicode?

    Hi Amol,

    I created a test report, with single label, and added special characters in German like -> 'ä å æ g ë ö o ß s ü ÿ Ä Å Æ G E Ö O S Ü'

    I assigned this characters to a Text Variable and Expression in the layout just to check the preview. When I run the report, the label displays all the characters without issues. Am I missing anything in here?
