Posted on by IS-15121050-0 10
Hello,
 
After first time setup of our Swedish company in Business Central, the entire Chart of Accounts and General Ledger came up in Swedish, while the UI is in English. This is fine, but is there an efficient way to rename or translate the Chart of Accounts and General Ledger to English?
 
Thanks in advance for your help and tips!

    Hello Iviana,
     
    This is expected. BC doesn’t auto-translate Chart of Accounts.
     
    Best option:
     Edit in Excel → bulk rename G/L account names to English → publish back.
     
    UI language ≠ master data language.

    As far as I know, there's no way; you'll have to re-enter the English name.
     
    Thanks.
