Changing Language and Locale
Business Central can present itself in different languages. You can change the language that is used to display texts, and the change is immediate, once you have been automatically signed out and in again. The setting applies to you and not to everyone else in your company.
For example, if you are Canadian, you can see the user interface in English and in French, but it is still the Canadian version of Business Central in the United Kingdom.
[!NOTE]
Changing the language is currently not supported in Business Central.
Changing the texts that are stored as application data is not part of the multilanguage capability. This is an application design issue. Examples of such texts are the names of items in the inventory or the comments for a customer. In other words, these types of text are not translated.
[!NOTE]
Business Central.
Changing the Locale
Locale is different from both language and legal requirements in local markets. Locale determines how your data presents itself in terms of comma separator, aligned to the left or to the right, and certain other settings. The locale also determines some of the system elements in the browser, such as the action to create a new item in a list, for example.
You can change the locale in the browser tab that you are using to work in Business Central. the change applies only to you and not to the other users in your company.
[!IMPORTANT]
When you change the locale, you will see a long list of languages and locales. However, only the locale setting is used in the current version of Business Central.
To change the locale, go to the My Settings window. For more information, see Changing Basic Settings.
