Translation of button in modern command bar

[Jan-Kodet]

Hello,

I would like to create button in modern command bar. The environment where I would like to deploy support 3 languages. How to create button in modern command designer with localization support? I know that this feature is still in preview but soon will be in GA (I hope).

Below is links to release plan:

To handle Localization you need to use the Export and Import Translations as per the below Link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/export-customized-entity-field-text-...

You will find your command button after opening the translation file and going to the Localized labels , you will find it under appaction, add the labels of the other languages and re-import back

Hi Mira,

thank you for answer but e.g. when I have in the expression the "Notify" I'm not able to translate. Do you have any tip for this?

I understand your problem now but there is currently no out of the box way to handle such translation because it is embedded in your button logic, so what I would suggest here:

1. Create a custom table to hold the notification message per language 

Language lookup to languages table 

Message Id or identifier.

2. Modify the existing ribbon button to use a JavaScript function where you can retrieve the correct translation using web API and display it.

This is not a very easy solution but this is what I am aware of maybe others can have easier or better solution
