Dynamics CRM 8.1 Translation doesn't work

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hey folks,

i run into a somehow strange problem. 

I exported a translation file from crm , translated it and importet it then.

But when i change the language i don't see any translated text. So after seeing that i tryed to export

the translation xml again and it had my translatet data so im kind of confused why i dont see any translated text

within crm.

does anyone know how to fix this problem?

thanks!

    Hi,

    i had the same problem and this worked for me:

    - Removing the translation value which does not appear in crm (with Easy Translations (XrmToolbox))

    - Remove the field from the CRM form

    - Publish form / All

    - Add translation value again (with Easy Translations (XrmToolbox))

    - Add field to CRM form

    - Publish / All

    Hey Guys,

    i found a solution .

    The translation file was simply to large (50k+ fields)

    I upload the translation step by step via xrmtoolbox.

    That works fine for me.

    Thanks for your help anyway.

    Hi Alex ,

    Yes when you export the translation file it will give you all translation with the code separate column. For example 1033 - English , 1036 - French.

    Please remember some of the translation you need to change different way like sitemap , you can not see the impact of those.

    You can check only entity wise like opening form and fields whether it has translated or not.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    thanks for your answers.

    I published the customization and the Additional Language is available within  Settings -> Administration -> Languages.

    And if i export the Translation file i see both Languages , however even tought everything has been translated within this file i can only see the Standart Dynamics Stuff beeing translated.

    Hi

    after import the translation file, make sure you publish the customization again.

    Hi Alex ,

    You have installed language pack in your server. If not then download the language pack and install it .

    Hi Alex,

    Did you enable language settings?

    Go to Settings > Administration.

    Choose Languages.

    In the Language Settings dialog box, choose any available languages and choose Apply to enable them

    You can refer below link -

    docs.microsoft.com/.../enable-additional-languages

    Hope this helps.
