Troubleshooting

This section describes solutions to the most common problems related to the operation of the Beyond Translations extension:

Problem Description	Solution Steps
Missing translations in the target language file (…de-DE.xlf) There is no new content to translate in the target language translation file.	Proceed as follows: • Create a backup of the translation file (just to be sure). • Compile the branch with the latest developments (make sure that the source language elements are included in the …g.xlf file). • Delete the translation file ...de-DE.xlf (not the file …g.xlf) from the branch. • Create a new translation file for the target language. Check the Branch, Source and Target language settings as described in the Select File section and load the file with Beyond Translations. If the problem persists, check if a filter has been applied to the translations. For more information on filters, see the Filter Translations section.
Missing content in the global file (…g.xlf) The contents (in English) of the new developments to be translated are not included in the global translation file (…g.xlf).	Proceed as follows: • Compile the branch with the latest developments (make sure that the source language elements are included in the …g.xlf file) If no changes to the source file …g.xlf are displayed in the Source Control (e.g. in VS Code), you should check if there is a “Caption Property” in your AL code or if it is possibly locked for translation by “Locked = true”. For more information, please refer to the Microsoft DOCS at Caption Property - Business Central | Microsoft Docs.

Problem Description	Solution Steps
Filter cannot be cleared/deleted 1. The translations are filtered, but I can't find a button to clear the filter. 2. My view is filtered, but I can't clear the filter because I can't click on the filtered value.	1. You can recognize a filtered view by the fact that a filter symbol is displayed in the column. Check the columns for a filter icon. Filtered View for a value in the “Property Name” column Click the filtered value in the column to delete the filter. 2. You have defined a filter that does not correspond to a translation line. This often occurs when combining multiple filters using the Search: field. Check which columns have a filter symbol. Select these columns one by one from the dropdown menu under Source: and delete the text values from the input field to the right of them.
Beyond Translations loads abnormally long You have opened the extension in the web browser, but it does not load.	Press the F5 key and call the app again. If the problem persists, contact us.
Spelling error in the source text You have found a spelling error in the left window (focus mode) that you want to correct.	You cannot edit the source text in Beyond Translations. You must correct the spelling error in the AL code under the “Caption” property and recompile the development. Save your translations, otherwise your progress on the file will be lost. To do this, click the Save button to transfer the translations to the translation memory.
