Export Field Translations

Localizable fields are an amazing feature where end users can view it in their language and can work easily. In this way, the dependency of knowing ‘English’ language could be removed and the user will have an easy time inheriting the Dynamics 365.

Click Ok and a .zip file will be downloaded for you.

Extract it and observe that both [Content_Types] & CrmFieldTranslations are XML document.

CrmFieldTranslations contains Information & Localized labels tabs Information focusses around your organization and its base language and code, whereas Localized Labels refers to Entity name, its Object ID, object column name, and of course base language label.

The file contains general labels. You need to add now on column E, the language code which you need to use, and add labels.
