Upgrading my G/L Source Names Extension to AL – step 4 addendum

In the last blog post we completed the translation to our native language.  Since then I have learned that I also need to include translation files for EN-US, EN-GP and EN-CA.

With the latest update of AdvaniaGIT tools that was an easy task.  Just asked to create Xlf file for these languages and skipped the part where we import C/AL translation.

I have also been pointed to a new tool that can work with Xlf files.  Multilingual Editor: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MultilingualAppToolkit.MultilingualAppToolkitv40

Now I call out to all who are ready to help me with the translation.  Please fork my NAV2018 repository and send me Xlf translation files for your native language.  Or just download one of the translation files and send me your language.

Our next step is to code sign the App file and send it to Microsoft.

Upgrading my G/L Source Names Extension to AL – step 4

We are on a path to upgrade G/L Source Names from version 1 to version 2.  This requires conversion from C/AL to AL, data upgrade and number of changes to the AL code.

A complete check list of what you need to have in your AL extension is published by Microsoft here.

Our task for today is to translate the AL project into our native language.

To make this all as easy as I could I added new functionality to the AdvaniaGIT module and VS Code extension.  Make sure to update to the latest release.

To translate an AL project we need to follow the steps described by Microsoft here.

To demonstrate this process I created a video.
