Maximum number of languages in one database

How many languages (captionML) are supported within one database?

We do need about 12 languages (not localizations) within the same W1 NAV2013 /NAV2015database.

    Hi Stefan,

    1. There is no limitation for number of supported languages within one database.

    2. You can't use NAV 2013 with multiple languages due to:

     2.1. Development Environment doesn't supports save Unicode. Change collation can use only one language beside English.

     2.2. CaptionML has string length limitation, not enough for 12 languages.

    3. Solutions:

     3.1 Upgrade to NAV 2013 R2 or NAV 2015 to use loading Translations feature.

     3.2 If you want to keep NAV 2013, you can use my Unicode tool www.mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp.

    There is no limit in the number of languages that yon can have. (At least it is not mention in any document NAV has published)

    Yes, I have tested it within the development environment. There was no problem with the captionML string length > 500 characters.

    I did not test the reporting services.
