Help with translating items in a Power Apps dropdown list

Posted on by 67

I am working on a Power Apps application and I have a dropdown list with the following items:

["All", "Open", "Canceled", "Closed", "Not clear"].

 

I want to translate these items to Arabic while keeping the underlying values intact.

 

Could you please guide me on how to achieve this? I would like the dropdown list to display the translated text in Arabic while still returning the original values in English.

    Hi @Abdulazizhalawa ,

     

    Let's consider your back-end values are as mentioned "["All", "Open", "Canceled", "Closed", "Not clear"]"

    What you can do it, in items property of dropdown

     

     

     

    [
     {
     Label: If(Language() = "en-US", "All", <add Arabic word>)
     ID: "All"
     },
     {
     Label: If(Language() = "en-US", "Open", <add Arabic word>)
     ID: "Open"
     },
     {
     Label: If(Language() = "en-US", "Canceled", <add Arabic word>)
     ID: "Canceled"
     },
     {
     Label: If(Language() = "en-US", "Closed", <add Arabic word>)
     ID: "Closed"
     },
     {
     Label: If(Language() = "en-US", "Not clear", <add Arabic word>)
     ID: "Not clear"
     }
    ]

     

     

     

    Also, Sorry but Arabic words aren't showing here due to invalid character as per community. So please replace as needed.

    I hope this helps
