Accpac in Arabic

[johnhugh]

Hi, Is there a language pack available for Accpac 6 in Arabic?
Has anyone customers in Saudi Arabia? Apparently the requirement to do business there is having local systems in Arabic.

No

There appears to be a 3rd party product.
Anyone used this before and know whether it's any good?

It looks promising. I'd want to confirm that it works with all of the screens. My guess is that they are changing the captions as the screens appear via calls to the Windows API. Impressive undertaking.

Been testing it now.
Doesn't work and don't hear back from them.
Translation of the menu tree and icons work, but none of the screens are being translated.
$10k USD for standard Accpac modules.
Waste of time/money.

There used to be a customization kit that allowed you to do language translations, I wonder what happened with that?
We looked at it many moons ago to do a Portugese translation for the African market. Arabic would be interesting though, do you flip the screens?

You start their software first and pick the language, than start Accpac.
It's a little icon in the task bar.
Translation doesn't work for screens.
