I have a customer who has a NAV 4 database (i’m not sure if it has been upgraded) which has german table names (E.g. the [Object] table is called [Objekt]).
Is this normal? Is there some way to convert all the table names to english?

My first reaction is: probably this is a 2.xx version database that has been technically upgraded to 4.xx.
Some questions:
There is a way to get it done, but please first answer my questions.
I have passed on your questions because i’m working on limited information myself.
I the mean time i will calify my problem.
I have a 3rd party tool doesn’t work because it uses the english table names. So its not that i can’t read german and need translations, but that software needs to rely on the table names being in english. So the language of forms don’t matter, and exporting translations won’t help, it’s jsut about the SQL table names.
Thanks for your help
Well I actually did not mean to export them but was just refering to this feature. I was actually thinking of importing translations, by:
BTW: In language are the table names showing in the object designer?
I am not sure steps 1, 2, and 3 above will work, i.e. that by importing these string it will update the SQL table names. You might try on a test version of the database.
If that does not work this might work (but again: not sure):
I assume that when the table names (in object designer) are in English a restore will create SQL table with English names.
Thanks alot. I will pass this on
