Hi All,
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is multilanguage-enabled, which means that you can display the user interface (UI) in a number of different languages. Although, every BC Application Package is installed as per Localization.
Example: BC Localization Version for Germany will be in German (Local Language) but you can also run the Application in English (multilanguage)
To enable/add a Language for the developed extension, using a Translation File follow these steps:
1. Create a Translation File.
In your app.json of your extension add a new feature as shown below:
Now. Build your extension (Ctrl+Shift+B), this will create a new Translation Folder and include a g.xlf file. This is the file that will be used for adding a language.
Note:
- The file is in xml format
- This file will include texts from your Labels, Captions and Tooltips.
2. Use the created Translation file
First of all, rename your file and use an appropriate naming conversion: Projectname.language.xlf
Use case: I have a US Localisation which needs a Trsnaltion for German for a field with Caption Car.
c. Build your extension.
I have a file called ItemManagement.de.xlf and need to add two things for the translations to work:
a. Add the target-language
b. Add <target> tag (translation) under <source> tag
Note:
- This g.xlf file is regenerated after every Build so if any new Text (Label/Caption/Tooltip) is added to the extension, it will be included in the file and require translation (Follow step 2).
- Do not forget to rename the .g.xlf file, otherwise, your translations will be lost.
If you're looking for some advanced and automatic Translation, check Azure Translator Text.
