How to change labels' language in Visual Studio (Design Time Preview)

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by Patryk Zmijewski 21

Hi,

While using Dinamics AX Visual Studio Tools, there is an option of design time preview of a form (prview pane).

However it's not as useful as it could be, beacuse the main language that we are using during development is not english.

That's why in preview pane in VS, instead of the text corresponding to the label, I can only see the link to the label e.g. @ABC123.

(Of course, when I'm using the form directly from the web browser labels are displayed nicely, since the user preferred language is set correctly.)

Is there any possibility to change language preferences in Dinamics AX Visual Studio Tools, or to do something else, what will help to solve that issue?

Thanks in advance.

    Bump: I'm having difficulty seeing labels both at design time and in the application

    Could you provide a sample of your problem in the application (a screenshot would be great)?

    Hi Sukrut,

    Yes, however it didn't help. While the VS environment is in Polish (I chose that option), the parts related to Dynamics are still in English. That is not the problem for me. The main part of the problem is preview pane in VS form editor.

    I figured out that it should be a component inside the VS  Dynamics extension. I looked for it and found it in the path:

    ...\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ymhmh4ah.wnn\DesignTimePreview

    It the language that is used is determined on the basis of globalize scripts located here:

    ....\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ymhmh4ah.wnn\DesignTimePreview\Scripts\ext\globalize\1.0

    I will be greatful if anyone could help me to change the default language to PL (or PL-pl) with the use of directories I posted.

    Best regards,

    Patryk Zmijewski
