Hi all

We've got a customer wanting to have the UI in Arabic language. I
understand that on top of English edition, we need to install the
Arabic edition.

What I'm aware of is during the implementation phase of the project,
will the MS CRM implementation team need to know Arabic and have all
the fields displayed in Arabic? Or is there an option where the fields
can be in English and then converted into Arabic as and when required.

Request your thoughts and past experiences on such situations.

Thanx in advance

The install does not go "over" the English version. When you install, the
language is based on the version of the app you install from. There is not a
"multi-lingual" version currently available.

Thanx Matt

Two quicks questions here

1. Can I do all my configurations (creating new fields, custom report
etc) in the English version and once I'm done, can I install the
'Arabic version', thereby ensuring that the implementation guy don't
need to know Arabic

2. What will happen to the custom reports that we create using Crystal
reports in English. Post Arabic version installation, will these also
get changed to Arabic?

Pls clarify

You cannot, in a supported manner, migrate customizations between languages.
even if you did (by editing the XML), the field labels would not be translated,
so you wouldn't get the desired effect.

Same with the reports. Any literals on the report will not translate for you.
