How to export/import multilanguage label with official utility

Former Member

I downloaded "Package Import Export Utility" from Aras site. After export the package, I checked the XML file of ItemType that utility created, and then I found single label and plural label were only exported with English. Is this situation correct? How can I do if I want to export labels with all languages? Thank you.

    Hi Frederic, The Aras Import/Export Utilities are not designed to handle multilingual data. However, each language pack includes the Language Pack Management Utility command line tool (\tools\I18N\LanguageTool.exe) that can be used to export multilingual labels. Some, but not all, language packs include a batch file that demonstrates how to export data using LanguageTool.exe. Here are the contents of the sample file from the Aras 11 SP8 French Language Pack: 004-EXPORT-FRENCH.BAT. Note that all variables in the third line are set by the call to SETUP-DEFAULTS.CMD. 
    SETLOCAL
CALL SETUP-DEFAULTS.CMD
%SELF_FOLDER%\tools\I18N\LanguageTool.exe -export -config_file:%SELF_FOLDER%\French\ExportConfig.xml -folder:%SELF_FOLDER%\French\xml -log_file:%LOGS_FOLDER%\%LOG_TIMESTAMP%-FrenchExport.txt -server:%DB_SERVER% -db:%DATABASE_NAME% -login:%SQL_LOGIN% -pwd:%SQL_PASSWORD%
