Special Characters in Translations

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central v14 and earlier

If special characters are not shown correctly in the Windows client, it might be because the objects were compiled with the wrong code page.

To fix this you need to run C/Side with the unicode paramter:

finsql.exe unicode=1

Then open the relevant database and compile all objects.

Even though the characters might not be shown correctly inside C/Side the compilation will be done using unicode and the special characters will now be shown correctly in the client.
