Hal routine not found when upgrading

After upgrading to 8.3 we are seeing some HAL errors relating to localization

When loading a window using locale function we get

2017-03-07 13:20:53 SJ runtime error, hal stack is:HAL routine not found: VATZONEBUTTONSLABELSCAN
2017-03-07 13:20:53 SJ dump of call stack

example code that causes an error:

external function real VATZoneButtonsLabelsCAN(real,real,real,real);
..

v = VATZoneButtonsLabelsCAN(h5+30,v,170,16);


Changing the functions to ENG instead works fine.

What do we need to do to get SERP to recognize the Canadian window functions? I have the clcan.hob/sucan.hob files in the client hob directory, is there anything else needed?

Thanks.

Likely a mistake in canadian translation. We will find out and fix it

I usually use HAL link check report in Technic module to check for any development mistake i could be.

In a fresh SERP 8.3 installation this report with External checkbox selected fails with HAL Call Stak dumped error.

Several errors of Hal function are shown in report and all related apparently to language localization of Windows hal.
