Import Label files ( ALD ) script, using SysLabelFile class

by  • 

If you have to import many Label files in different languages into AX 2012, you can use the script below.
If the label file doesn’t exists, it will be created at the current level.
This operation will overwrite any existing label different from file.

    

str             path = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsAX\bin\Application\Appl\Standard\";
    container       files = ["axXXX","axYYY"
                                ];
    container       extensions = [ "en-us.ald",
                                   "en-gb.ald", 
                                   "it.ald",
                                   "fr.ald",
                                   "fr-be.ald",
                                   "de.ald",
                                   "es.ald",
                                   "zh-cn.ald" ];
    FilenameOpen    file;
    #WINAPI
    int             i;
    int             j;
    SysLabelFile    labelFile;
    for(i=1; i<=conLen(files); i++)
    {
        for(j=1; j<=conLen(extensions); j++)
        {
            file = path + conPeek(files, i) + conPeek(extensions, j);            
            if( WinAPI::fileExists(file)) // check file exists
            {
                // In AX 2012 there are 2 files for chinese, so we copy(overwrite) the old file in the user desktop with the new name                 
                if( conPeek(extensions, j) == "zh-cn.ald")
                {                    
                    WinAPI::copyFile(file, WinAPI::getFolderPath(#CSIDL_DESKTOP) + @"\" + conPeek(files, i) + "zh-hans.ald", true);                    
                    file = WinAPI::getFolderPath(#CSIDL_DESKTOP) + @"\" + conPeek(files, i) + "zh-hans.ald";
                }
                // create from file
                labelFile = SysLabelFile::newFilename(file);
                labelFile.fromFile(file);                                    
            }
            else                
                warning(strFmt("File %1 not found", file));         
        }
    }

That’s it!
