MS Flow translates month incorrectly

Posted on by _MichaelVD_ 20

There is something strange with the Translate function.

I get my monthname always in english so I used a translate function to get the dutch translation .

It works fine for all months except for the month September, the translation in dutch is also September.

But it get translated to Augustus what is dutch for August , anyone else got this same error ?

Looks like a bug maybe?

    Hi @_MichaelVD_ , this is 100% sure a bug.. 

     

    Aangezien je Nederlands bent: hier kan je zelf niks aan doen. Wellicht dat je de alternatieve actie 'Translate text into another language' van AI Builder kan gebruiken. Maar hier heb je dan toevallig een AI Builder licentie voor nodig die niet iedereen heeft.

    @_MichaelVD_  You are using the V3 version of this action already right?

    I was using V2 of translate so maybe it is fixed in V3, but I solved it by using :

    formatDateTime(variables('StartDate'),'MMMM','nl-be')
     
    The 'nl-be'  gives me the dutch month name.
