Question

I recently have some problems when exporting the translations of an entity. At first I thought that the problem was lying much deeper than just the ribbon.. But with some testing, I found out that it were my LocLabels that caused the problem. The buttons itself (+ in-line translations) are working correctly! I define the 3 used languages (“Dutch”, “French” and “English”) in my Ribbon-XML and everything seems to be translated correctly. But when I want to export the translations for that particular entity, nothing seems to happen…

If instead of “$LocLabels:”, I just use plain text, everything seems to work and I can export the translations for that entity.

The XML looks as following:

Is there someone who encountered the same problems as us?

Answer 1

I found a solution for this problem. It were particular “Loclabels” from a managed solutions that caused the problem. For some reason the loclabels of the managed solution entered in my normal “customization” of the entity and that’s why I couldn’t export the translations. It gave me an “Duplicate” translation error. After removing the loclabel, I was able to export/import the translations.
