Database Transporter error: "[810029] Object of type Translations does not exist in database or you do not have the relevant viewing permissions." when importing custom translations

The reason you are seeing this error is that the translation entries (DialogMultiLanguage) are getting different GUIDs anytime you install the Langauge-Pack CSV files.So the entries in the customer database have different GUIDs than the ones in your database. That is the reason why the transport package is failing.

I think you need to correct your CSV files based on the entries you have changed in the Designer.

Thanks for your answer, Markus!

Manually correcting the csv files is not really an option, because I've made hundreds of manual adjustments. I need a different solution, an automated one.

Do you think that, on my local environment, when importing the language pack in step 1, before committing the changes to database, a solution would be to mark the modifications with the same change label as in step 2, and then generate a transport file that would include all modifications in steps 1&2, that I would import on the customer database, without also importing the csv files in the customer database? Would this avoid having different GUIDs in the two steps?

Hi Bogdan,

if the language pack wasn't imported into the customer database, this might be an option. If the language pack was already imported in the customer database you will end up with duplicate translations.

In addition, you could try to use the SQL Window in Object Browser to export your translations as csv and update your csv files this way.

Thanks for your answer, Andreas!

The language pack was not imported in the customer database, wanted to test the whole process first. So I'll try this and keep you posted.

For using the SQL Windows in the Object Browser I'd need some help, this is the tool I've used the least. But maybe I won't need it.

Tried what I was thinking, but is not working. I've reset the VMs on my local environment to the state where I didn't have anything related to Romanian. And, of course, because I need to import again the Romanian language pack in step 1, I have the different GUIDs problem when trying to import the db transport file in step 2.

Therefore, any help please with exporting the translations using the Object Browser?

You would collect the translations with a query like this and save the result with menu SQL >> Export result.

select dt.TableName, dc.ColumnName, dmlen.EntryKey,dmlen.EntryValue, dmlro.EntryValue
	from DialogMultiLanguage dmlen
		join DialogMultiLanguage dmlro on dmlen.UID_DialogColumn = dmlro.UID_DialogColumn and dmlen.EntryKey = dmlro.EntryKey
		join DialogColumn dc on dmlen.UID_DialogColumn = dc.UID_DialogColumn
		join DialogTable  dt on dt.UID_DialogTable = dc.UID_DialogTable
	where 
		dmlen.UID_DialogCulture = 'QBM-CULT-en-US' 
		and dmlen.EntryValue is not null
		-- and dmlen.UID_DialogMultiLanguage like 'UCI-%' --- << for every Module
		and dmlro.UID_DialogMultiLanguage like 'CCC-%' -- << for all custom translations
		and dmlro.UID_DialogCulture = 'QBM-CULT-ro-RO'
	order by 1,2,3

Use ether the "for every Module" or the "for all custom translations" line in the where clause.
When using the "for every Module" you need to run the query once for every module.

In the resulting csv files you need to replace the csv heading with
@@Culture:ro-RO

Thanks Andreas!

What should I do with the resulted file? Import it using the Language Tool in Designer?

I'm asking because the csv files in the language pack are split per module, while this one contains records from all modules (I haven't used the module where clause, didn't un-comment it).

It depends on your use case. If it is a custom translation just for this one customer, importing this new file (via Language Tool in Designer) should be suffice.
If you want to provide translations to multiple customers with different sets of installed modules, you might want to split the translations into multiple files based on there module of origin.

Hi all,

Sorry for my late reply, I was off due to some personal issues.

I've succeeded transporting the language pack to the client environment, automatically, including my manual corrections. What I did was the following:

• using Andreas' script & instructions I've exported csv files for each module;
• it was a bit strange that not all modules had records in the database, even if in step 1 described in my 1st post here I've had Romanian translations for all modules;
• however, for the modules with no export data I've used the original csv files, containing the automated Romanian translations;
• the result is a Romanian language pack folder containing 37 csv files, with my manual corrections;
• I've imported the language pack in an online demo environment and it looked fine; the same on the customer environment.

Thanks all for help, much appreciated!

Regards,

Bogdan
