Hello,

I want to create an app that has several languages in it, and the user can choose one, and use the app has normal.

How can i do that? I don't mind doing the translate of each phrase one by one, i just want the user to be able to click an language and use it.

The blog post at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/carlosfigueira/2017/09/08/building-multilingual-apps-in-powerapps explains how to create an app that supports multiple languages. In that post the language selection is done based on the user preferences (returned by the Language function), but you can always have a settings page that lets the user override that choice with their preferred language.

Hello CarlosFigueira,

Thanks for sharing this post. I am trying to build a multilanguage app that supports Spanish and Turkish.

The blog you shared and the PowerApps documentation only seem to mention English, Portuguese, French and Italian...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-language

Do you know what other languages are supported by the Language() function?

Thanks in advance,
Daniela

PowerApps currently supports ~40 languages; I don't have the complete list, but it definitely supports Spanish and Turkish. If you set the system settings to the language you want to support (or the Chrome settings when using that browser), you can create an app that has a label with the Text property set to Language(), and you'll see if it returns what you expect.

I recently posted a tutorial on implementing multilingual support in PowerApps.

Hope this helps!

These instructions do not seem to handle financial data in mutli languages. Does anyone have information about that? Is it possible to show US currency no matter where you are globally?
