Another thing is that when I had customers give me translations for some fields, I couldn't import them into the User Tool (because of what Dave mentioned). I had to manually copy and paste them into the fields in Mid Tier. (it was a form that they did not have access to).
And no, I never had a problem with "I am out of the office until Monday" translation problems! <whew!> Just luck I guess! http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/11/road_sign_translation_snafu_proves_machines_are_less_lazy_than_humans-2.html Lisa ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Shellman, David Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 1:45 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Need some feedback on AR Server in a multiple language environment? ** Chris, We are running in a multiple language environment on 7.0.1. We did not go through the steps of converting to Unicode. We held off until we were switching hardware. This gave us the opportunity to perform a software upgrade from 6.3 to 7.0.1 with the change to new hardware and install with Unicode compatible at the same time. We then exported data from the old server to the new server. We had an issue with Japanese and the email engine which was corrected with one of the early patches. Be aware that the desktop client and admin tool in 7.0.1 and 7.1 are not Unicode compliant. What languages will display correctly are based on the OS and the Locale settings. This became evident with some testing while in China. We were having an issue with correctly displaying Chinese. Testing showed that the Locale setting had a big influence on the display that we did not really need to deal with for some of the other languages. With the changes in 7.5, the admin tool may be Unicode compliant. The MidTier client is not an issue with Unicode.

After you get everyone to agree on a common definition for "multiple language environment" and all that entails, then you can look at whether upgrading to 7.5 might be a good time to switch to unicode (should you need to). This is NOT a trivial operation. Rick On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Tony Worthington <tony.worthing...@kohls.com<mailto:tony.worthing...@kohls.com>> wrote: Are you Unicode now?
