Hi, if you're referring to the text entered in Name, as far as I know the standard can't do that.

The easiest way is to use the Name 2 field and enter a description in the second language.

Another solution is to customize one by referring to the Translations function of Item.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.

As of my understanding, there isn't a built-in feature within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that automatically translates chart of accounts data based on the logged-in user's language preference.

Hi

I think you could rely on the following functionality "extended texts". I could help you in some way. I hope it gives you an idea.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Use Extended Text when one Description is too short – DvlprLife.com

Add Extended Text - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Translate G/L Account (dynamics.com)

Best regards
