Chinese install

Posted on by PLM 20

Hello,

From the install CD, where you choose the "Country/Region in which you do business", there is the option there for China.  If you install a separate instance of GP, does that enable an end user to view the windows etc in Chinese?   This client wants to setup a new company database but have the Chinese users view the windows / information in Chinese but the American users open the company and view the data in English.  Is this possible?  This client is on GP2010.

Thanks.

    Hi

    Dexterity does not support double byte or unicode characters and so does not have a chinese character version. Choosing China will set the terminology and formatting for China but the product interface is still English.

    Have a look at my article

    Hi,

    The country/region is selected only to match the local regional settings and the GP will be only on English.  Dynamics GP comes only on English, French(Canadian) & Spanish (Latin America).
