Get language Settings from Model Driven Apps into Canvas app

Posted on by sudhirnory

Is there a way we can use the default language settings from Dynamics 365 CE or model driven app for a multilingual Canvas App.

Some users have German, some users have Italian and some users have French as default language in Dynamics 365 CE.

We want to use the same language settings in Canvas app as default and allow to change if required.

Is using System Settings or browser language settings only option in this case.

What is the best way to go about it?

Hello,

In order to identify the language selected in a user's settings in MDA you can use the following formula:

LookUp( Languages, 'Locale ID' = LookUp( 'User Settings', SystemUserId = LookUp( Users, 'Primary Email' = User().Email, User ), LocaleId ), Name )

That formula gives the name of the language selected. You can use this formula onstart of the application and store the result in a Global Variable that can be used afterward to translate labels of your app.

Hello,

I rechecked the formula and I was on the direction but used an incorrect field in lookup. Try the following formula:

LookUp( Languages, 'Locale ID' = LookUp( 'User Settings', SystemUserId = LookUp( Users, 'Primary Email' = User().Email, User ), UILanguageId ), Name )
