Getting started

In this article, you'll learn how to get started with Codadot G/L Translations.

Requirements

To install Codadot G/L Translations, you'll need to have the following:

  • Either a Business Central online Production environment or Sandbox environment
  • An active billing profile in your Microsoft account
  • Role to make AppSource purchases in your Microsoft tenant
  • Permissions to install extensions in Business Central

Licensing

You can try out G/L Translations for free for 1 month in any environment. After your trial has ended, you are required to have an active license for user accounts interacting with or using G/L Translations.

After installing the app

  1. First, enable the extension. To do this, use the Search Everywhere function and type in Setup - G/L Translations.
  2. Toggle the switch next to Enabled to enable the module.
  3. Specify the language code of the language that is currently being used as the base language in the system.
  4. Initialize the base translations using the button in the ribbon
  5. Navigate to the Translation Worksheet and either manually create translations for a specific language, or, create empty translations for all G/L accounts for a specific language, speeding up the translation process.
  6. That's it! Your company is now set up for translated general ledger account names in Business Central.

Assigning permissions

G/L Translations has two built-in permission sets.

Code What's included
COTGLT ALL Allows you to configure G/L Translations and allows you to manage translations
COTGLT USER Only allows you to view translated account names

Assign a permission set either directly to a user, or, extend an existing permission set you've already created by including it. The COTGLT ALL permission set is already added to the built-in administrator permission set. Additionally, the COTGLT USER permission set is already added to the built-in basic permission set.
