Hello Team,

I need your quick help to show me how I could do translation for a text constant; step by step is appreciated.

Now, I can create a translation by myself in C/AL code; but it works well for variable because I can edit/assign new value to it. However, for a text constant, I cannot assign a new value to it.

Can you suggest how I can change the value for a text constant or step by step I can translate a text constant for a language to another language?

You can enter text constant in multiple language.

go to text constant and press F6 on ConsValue.

Here it will allow us to enter in multiple languages.

You can go to that particular variable (Global or Local) > Select that variable > Click Properties (Shift + F4) > Use AssitEdit Button for ConstValueML Property.

Add you preferred language and related Value.

Hey Hugto,

In the Text Constant ConstValue you will find a assist trigger to select for the language you want. There you can define for any of the language.

Hi Mohana,

thanks for your quick answer: I know that functionality. However, I want to make a table where users can just go and maintain their language code, text in english, and the text in their language. The report then just run and translate the text to expected language.

We can do it for variables as we can change the value of variables; but for text constant we cannot change the value in run time. so I seek for your help.

As you mentioned, we can do it only using variable and not possible via text constant.
