OnConvertLanguageCodeToDeviceLanguageCode

Use this event to

Customize default values for Device Language Codes to be used at the Mobile Language page.

Description

Add translated labels you can use from your code (i.e. error messages, field names and information). Messages you add from this event are inserted into "Mobile Messages" and can be accessed from your custom code using the codeunit MobWmsLanguage.GetMessage('LabelName') function.

You may also overwrite existing messages:

Overwrite Mobile WMS Messages that already exists in Mobile Messages table
Overwrite labels used in the Android App Mobile Configuration File (used as "@{LabelName}"). Adding a new message "LabelName" (without '@' or '{}') will overrule similar labels from Android App resource files.

Requirements

"Mobile Language Code" must be present on the "Mobile User"

Your new eventsubscriber is executed when:
... you manually select the action "Create Messages" from "Mobile Language" page (after subscribing)
... a mobile user logs into the database and no "Mobile Messages" exists (usually only the first time a mobile user logs on)
... the Mobile WMS Application (BC App) is upgraded to a newer version

If you want to ensure your new messages is always added to an existing Mobile Wms installation, consider (also) adding the messages from your own Install-/Upgrade-codeunits in your customization app project instead.
