Translate a label on an existing report

Posted on by 15

Hi all

I have a question about translation in Business Central. Is it possible to translate labels for an existing report, like report 1307 "Standard Sales - Credit Memo"? The translation in French for label DocumentTitle_Lbl is "Avoir", but I want to change this to "Note de Credit".

    Hi,

    I have the same issue. I would like to change some label values in different languages. We do not want to hardcore the label in the template, as we need different languages.

    Besides creating new labels using code extension, is there any way to change to labels without using code?

    We use DOC templates.

    Cheers

    Not using extensions. You can use the conversion tools to create a copy of the report, and change the caption that way.

    After conversion, be sure to specify the path to where you choose to store the .rdlc file in the resport's .al file. If you want to edit the .rdlc file, change the file extension to.rdl first, then open in 2016 report builder. Be sure to also update your translations file with the french captions etc ifrom the .xlf file that the txt2al conversion generates.
