Translation of Power Apps formula

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sieger 5

I imported a ready made Power App which was developed in English. Now many expressions don't work in the German language version of Power Apps.

 

E.G. I can't find a comparable expression to 'ThisItem.Thumbnail.Large'. This one results in an error.

 

Interestingly, the translation ends with: ThisItem.Selected.Miniaturansicht.Large; which is a mixture between English and German...

 

Other examples that don't work:

ThisItem.Status.Value

galDocuments.Selected.'File name with extension'; (can be translated to galDocuments.Selected.'Dateiname mit Erweiterung';)

 

 

This seems to be an error. Power Apps should at least be able to use the English expressions. And / or it should translate to the equivalent.

    I'm not able to help with the German language expression but have you tried using the Intellisense feature? When you type "ThisItem." you should be presented with a list of possible choices to complete the expression - do any of those make sense for your statement?

     

    Hope that helps,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

     

    This way of translation actually works. But one has to walk through the whole app and correct all errors. To do so you need to understand everything quite well.

     

    This seems to be a serious error in Power Apps.
