Importing BCM 2003 backup in another language in B2TR and Outlook 2007 with BCM

[paolokort]

I once downloaded the whole Office 2007.
With BCM it went completely wrong.
It as not possible to import the backup of BCM 2003 into Outlook 2007,
'Sorry, wrong language' the error message was. (BCM 2007 did not
convert my BCM 2003 database automatically). And so I had to end Office
2007, reinstall Outlook 2003 and BCM 2003, which took about an hour.
Now there is the Technical Refresh. Will I now be able to import the
Dutch BCM 2003 backup? Or will the conversion of BCM 2003 to BCM 2007
succeed during installation? Is there anyone having positive
experiences?

In the general case, databases in different locales are going to be
incompatible.

In some cases they will work (because collation orders, character sets,
currency symbols etc., are the same between two locales) or you can
make them work by tweaking some variables, but I doubt Microsoft will
support multiple locales with BCM.

It should be possible to export/reimport instead of backup/restore.

Consider that approach. I have a test environment with every iteration of
BCM if you run out of options.
