Hi @jja ,

Similar to what @MarcelLehmann has given, but for dataverse;
You don't need to create additional field in dataverse, simply use Language() function to detect the language and use in the App.
Basic translation steps are:
//OnStart of the App - check language Set(varLanguage, Language());

Use this in all places wherever you want to translate, for example:
"All Active Accounts" If(varLanguage = "fr-FR", "Tous les comptes actifs", "All Active Accounts")

Hope this helps

Hi @jja ,

I doubt that because data within cannot be translated. only models, labels, view names, table names etc are translated.
For that we use: Language Translation for dataverse
Language Translation for Canvas Apps

This doesn't apply on data and optionsets since its statically defined.
You need alternative translated optionset.

Hope this helps

This Power Apps code creates a collection named 'LanguageCollection'. This collection is made up of records, each representing a language.

Each record in the collection consists of two fields - 'Language' and 'Entries'. The 'Language' field represents the language code (for example, 'EN' for English, 'IT' for Italian, 'DE' for German, and 'FR' for French). The 'Entries' field is an array holding five different entries or phrases for each language.
To use this collection in Power Apps, you can refer to it by its name, 'LanguageCollection'. You can perform operations like filtering, sorting, or displaying data from this collection.
For instance, if you want to display all entries in English, you could use a command like:

Filter(LanguageCollection, Language = "EN")

This would return the record where the 'Language' field is 'EN', which would be the English entries.
If you wanted to access the third entry in the English language, you could use:

Lookup(LanguageCollection, Language = "EN").Entries[3]

This will return "Entry 3", the third entry in the English list.
Remember that in Power Apps, arrays start counting from 1, not 0, hence 'Entries[3]' refers to the third element.
