Hi @MDR26 ,
To add Dutch (Belgium) to your dropdown list, you would check for the language code for Dutch (Belgium), which is "nl-BE". Here is how you can add it to your formula:

[ { Label: If(Language() = "en-US", "All", Language() = "nl-BE", "Alles", <other conditions here>), ID: "All" }, // ... add more items as needed ]

In this case, "Alles" is the Dutch word for "All". You would replace <other conditions here> with any other language checks and translations you need.
Best Regards,
Hassan Raza

Hi @MDR26,

You can use the translation service, info here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-language#translation-service

If you provide translations manually as per your code sample, try the following to provide multiple languages:

{ Label: Switch(Language(), "en-US", "Hello", "fr-FR", "Bonjour", // etc ) ID: "All" }

More info on the Language function and language tags here:

Do you have more information? Such as does it show an error / do something unexpected / do nothing, etc?

The Choices function works like this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-choices

Another option would be to build a collection using the ClearCollect function and use that for the dropdown control Items property:
