Business value
It's now easier to select or change the UI language that you're using. Administrators can save people time and reduce confusion by making only the languages that their environment supports available for selection on the My Settings page.
Feature details
Business Central's user interface is translated by apps that Microsoft provides, or by language apps that our partners provide on AppSource. Administrators install the language apps in their Business Central environment. Afterward, on the My Settings page, you can choose the language in which you want to use Business Central.
Until now, when you selected your desired language, you chose from the full list of all languages that the Business Central platform can support, regardless of whether a language app is installed for them. This sometimes led to confusing experiences and made it more difficult to select a language. In most cases, only a few languages are relevant for an environment.
Administrators can now use the new Allowed Languages page to define the languages that should show up when people select their language. Showing only the supported languages makes it easier to select a language you can actually use, which helps avoid confusion.
