  Hello guys, I am sorry if this question is trivial

  Is there a way to make a single insert (in a loop) and take system dates and insert them in different languages without making a new loop for each language.

  Example

  Create table dateLanguage(

  monthName nvarchar(20),

  monthNameEs nvarchar(20),

  monthNameFr nvarchar(20),

  MonthNamePt nvarchar(20)

  )

  So for example

  January,

  Enero,

  Janvier,

  janeiro

  Thanks in advance for the help

  DECLARE @d AS DATE = '20140101';

  INSERT INTO dateLanguage([monthName],monthNameEs,monthNameFr,MonthNamePt)

  SELECT

  FORMAT(@d, N'MMMM', N'en-us'),

  FORMAT(@d, N'MMMM', N'es-es'),

  FORMAT(@d, N'MMMM', N'fr-fr'),

  FORMAT(@d, N'MMMM', N'pt-pt');

  GO

  SELECT * FROM dateLanguage;

  [font="Courier New"]monthName monthNameEs monthNameFr MonthNamePt

  -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- --------------------

  January enero janvier Janeiro

  [/font]

  You could use the syslanguages view along with the DelimitedSplit8K[/url] and Crosstabs[/url].

  SELECT

  MAX( CASE WHEN name = 'us_english' THEN s.Item END ) English

  ,MAX( CASE WHEN name = 'Deutsch' THEN s.Item END ) Deutsch

  ,MAX( CASE WHEN name = 'Français' THEN s.Item END ) French

  ,MAX( CASE WHEN name = 'Español' THEN s.Item END ) Spanish

  ,MAX( CASE WHEN name = 'Italiano' THEN s.Item END ) Italian

  FROM sys.syslanguages l

  CROSS APPLY dbo.DelimitedSplit8K( months, ',') s

  GROUP BY s.ItemNumber
