Hi,

We have version 27.1 of Business Central, we live in sweden so we have swedish as language and region.

But some words are in english? is it a bug in business central or what could it be?

example from item journal, everyting is in swedish exept from the word "Purchase":

And here is an example from sales price list, everything is in swedish exept from "All customers" and "Price & Discount":

Hi,

This is actually quite common and usually not a bug. Even if the environment is set to Swedish, some texts can still show in English if the translation is missing in the Swedish language pack.
In places like the Item Journal, words such as “Purchase” often come from enum values or extensions, and if they aren’t translated,

Business Central just falls back to English.

So it’s expected behavior, not a functional issue.

This seems to be a bug in Microsoft's code; the Enum field doesn't display the translation, only the caption.
You can wait for Microsoft to fix it.

Thanks

"This is actually quite common and usually not a bug."

i hope this was irony, because this is definitely a bug - maybe we call this a giant cockroach :P

it would be cool, if only the translation is messed up, but we recognized some weird behavior with enums in such a way, that some enum- values are not appearing in the client!

in my screenshot, we have a production system (left) and a sandbox (right)

the sandbox was created right from the production.

both systems have the same extensions in the same version installed (because i copied prod to sandbox! ....yes, i only copied!)

Hi @MS-30040609-0,

I think you should raise a support ticket with Microsoft as it's not under known issues list as of now.
