Language translation files are downloaded from Product Downloads section on Lawson's support site.
For 8.0 Applications, following languages are provided:
Dutch
French
French Canadian
German
Italian
Latin Spanish
For 8.1 Applications, following languages are provided:
French
French Canadian
Latin Spanish
As for why fewer languages are supported in 8.1 applications, I have not been able to get a reasonable answer from Lawson. However, I have found that loading the 8.0 translations will work OK with the 8.1 applications, although you do need to manually add some phrase translations.
How it works is:
- Download the language file from the Lawson support site
- Use 'ldlang' to install it
- Use 'locdef' to create locale in the Environment and assign a language to the locale
- Use 'laua' to assign the locale to desired users
- As Lawson applications are compiled, phrases on screens and reports are stored in the GEN table PHRASE & PHRASEUSE.
- Use 'langdef' to make any manual translations
- Translations are stored in GEN table PHRASEXLT
- When the screens/reports are rendered, translations are done based on the language for the user's locale
- Pre-rendered (.xml) Portal screen files are stored in $LAWDIR/[product line]/map/[language]
