Remarks

ISO 639 defines the names of languages, such as "en" for English.

Microsoft has listed a set of language codes, such "en-us" for English (United States). These language codes are referred to in Microsoft Dynamics AX as Language IDs.

Microsoft Dynamics AX uses "ko-jo" for Korean (Johab). In the Microsoft list, "ko" is both Korean and Korean (Johab).

Microsoft Dynamics AX uses "no-ny" for Norwegian (Nynorsk). In the Microsoft list, "no" is both Norwegian (Bokmal) and Norwegian (Nynorsk).

Microsoft Dynamics AX uses "es-tr" to represent Spanish (Spain - Traditional Sort). In the Microsoft list, "es" is both Spanish (Spain - Modern Sort) and Spanish (Spain - Traditional Sort).

A language name in the following format, such as "English (United States)", is referred to as the description in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Examples

The following example prints all the language IDs from the Microsoft list and a list of existing label files.

static void aaaTestLanguage(args a) 
{ 
    int i; 
    int cnt; 
    str languageID; 
    str description; 
    str shortName; 
 
    cnt = xlanguage::languageCount(); 
    for (i = 0; i<=cnt; i++) 
    { 
        languageID =xLanguage::index2languageID(i); 
        print "Language ", i, ":", languageID, ":"; 
    } 
    cnt = xLanguage::labelFileCount(); 
    for (i = 0; i<=cnt; i++) 
    { 
        shortName =xLanguage::labelFileNumber2LanguageID(i); 
        languageID =xLanguage::index2languageID(i); 
        description = xLanguage::languageID2Description(languageID); 
        print i, ":", shortName, ":", description; 
    } 
    pause;
