Report Language xlf

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello, create some reports and implement the corresponding xlf so that, depending on the client's language, it will be displayed with its language. My default language is 'es-ES' and but when it comes up blank or in 'ESP' it always gets the English translation. It works correctly when I put another language.
Do you know the reason?

    Hi, What is the target language in your translation file? And the default Language should be en-US, not en-ES.

    You can open the standard translation package in the On-Pre installation and take a look at its header section.

    C:\Temp\Dynamics.365.BC.48638.W1.DVD 21.1\Applications\BaseApp\Source

    Hello,
    I leave some screenshots of how I have it and what the error is.
    First the project configuration is in SAAS.

    The French translation file is as follows. And when putting the client's language in Fr, the invoice is displayed correctly.

    The file in English is the following and all the clients that have Spanish, English or blank show it in English.

    Hi Jorge Ramos,

    You have to make sure you're using the correct translated caption in the target tag just below the source tag.

    Here I'm translating to german.

    The default language is English which is the language of the Base Application.. when you add the translated file to the project the source and target language are the same as the default language.

    You can translate to any language only from the default source language in your translation file.

    Also, see the language code for both the source and target.

    Just add the translated version, to see the translated version change the language.

    Regards.

    Hello, I still have the problem, I can translate into Portuguese and French from the default language. The XLFs are created correctly, but when creating the one for es-ES it does not show it to me.

    I leave as it is the XLF of Spanish and also the one of French.

    ESP

    pastedimage1669288170957v3.png

    When I print the report it translates it into French and Portuguese according to the client's language, but when the client's language is ESP it is not translated and comes out in English.

    After a lot of research I solved it in a very simple way but I think it was under a dynamics bug.

    To be able to translate into Spanish you must use the international Spanish language, since the traditional one does not translate it for you.

    I add this post for future people who have the same problem.

    Cheers
