A company uses Business Central.

The company plans to use a translation file in an extension. The extension has a caption that should not be translated.

You need to prevent the caption from being translated.

What should you do?

AUse the CaptionML property and copy the same caption for each language used.

BSet the GenerateLockedTranslations feature in the appjson file.

CAdd the Locked = true parameter to the Caption.

DDelete the Caption property.

ECopy the same caption for each language in the translation file.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To prevent a caption from being translated in an extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you should add the Locked = true parameter to the Caption (C). This parameter explicitly marks the caption as locked for translation, ensuring that it remains unchanged across different language versions of the extension. This approach is useful for specific terms, brand names, or other elements within the application that should remain consistent regardless of the user's language settings. Unlike the other options, which involve manual manipulation of the translation file or properties, setting Locked = true directly in the AL code provides a clear, maintainable, and error-proof method to exclude specific captions from the translation process.

I'm not sure. Maybe copying the same caption for each language in the translation file could work.

But wouldn't deleting the Caption property (option D) also prevent it from being translated?

I agree with the C crowd. Locking the caption is the solution. Although, I do wonder if the exam writers are trying to trick us with those other options. It's like they're playing a game of 'caption catch' with us!

I'm not so sure about that. What if we just copy the same caption for each language in the translation file? Wouldn't that also work?

I'm leaning towards C, but I'm a bit confused about the other options. Is B actually a thing in Business Central? And deleting the caption seems like a terrible idea. Let's just stick with the locked caption approach.

I'm going with C as well. Locking the caption is the logical solution here. Although, I do wonder if anyone's ever accidentally deleted their caption and had to start over. That would be a real 'caption catastrophe'!
