Faerûn is a diverse realm, with a lot of different races, religions and languages that surprisingly are not configured within the default system. The Waterdeep Trading Company is all about being inclusive, so In order to be culturally sensitive we will spend a little time setting up some of the additional cultural items within Dynamics 365. That will ensure that we don’t make mistakes like sending invoices to the High Elves in Faerûn Common English, or marketing to a Halfling for a Dwarven marketing campaign.

Advanced Dungeons and Dynamics 365 Implementation Guide Module 2.1: Configuring the Faerûn Cultural Localizations

Preface I have been reviving an old project that started a while ago and has started up a new project blog to track the progress. Being a lifelong fan of Dungeons & Dragons, with the unfortunate problem that I cannot find anyone to play with I have decided to create a test implementation Dynamics 365 in the AD&D format just to see how it would work and if I can find some creative ways to use Dynamics 365 and chose to implement the Waterdeep Trading Company as an example where I can track their many legal (and not so legal) entities within Faerûn.

Introduction Faerûn is a diverse realm, with a lot of different races, religions, and languages that surprisingly are not configured within the default system. The Waterdeep Trading Company is all about being inclusive, so In order to be culturally sensitive, we will spend a little time setting up some of the additional cultural items within Dynamics 365. That will ensure that we don’t make mistakes like sending invoices to the High Elves in Faerûn Common English, or marketing to a Halfling for a Dwarven marketing campaign.

Adding New Faerûn Language Codes Common Faerûnian Languages

For those of you that are not familiar with the languages of Faerûn, although there are hundreds of different languages within the realms, these languages are often spoken far-and-wide, though they often do not possess the nuance to discuss in-depth topics and philosophies.

Adding new ISO Language Codes One way that we can add new languages is by adding them to the ISO Language Codes system table.

Opening the ISO Language Codes table To do this we will want to open up the Language Codes table within the system and add in the new languages.

How to do it… Step 1: Access URL and Append &mi=SysTableBrowser&TableName=Langu ageTable

Then we will want to use the System Table Browser function to view all the records in the Language Table table.

We will start off by accessing the URL bar within our browser where we will be able to see the website that we are pointing to in order to access Dynamics 365.

To do this, we will just add &mi=SysTableBrowser&TableName=Language Table to URL for Dynamics 365.

This will open up the table browser, and we will see all of the default Language codes and the ISO code for them.
