Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is multilanguage-enabled, which means that you can display the user interface (UI) in a number of different languages.

A multilanguage version of Business Central is not the same as a localized version.

  • A localized version is a version that is adapted to a local market. All text that is displayed to the user is translated into the local language, and all functional areas are adapted to the requirements of the local market. For example, the Canadian version of Business Central has additional local functionality that applies to the Canadian market.

  • A multilanguage version is a localized version that you can run in different languages, but all local functionality remains the same. For example, you can run the Canadian version of Business Central in both English and French, but it is still the Canadian localized version. It does not contain the same local functionality as the French localized version.

To run a localized version in multiple languages, you must install language modules.

In this module, you'll discover how to create and use translation files and will learn about which properties you have to set. Microsoft also provides tools to help you with automated translation for translation files.
