Customer suggested to move the option "Show user language" from the product information parameters page to "User options" page , where the user (individually) can choose his/her language for labels?


Business need:

Customer wants the user to have the flexibility to display translated product names from user options, regardless the UI language.


For example, user will show the item name in Danish without the need to change his/her UI language from English To Danish.


Customer Statement:

  • My client wants to use the new feature 'Display product info in user's language'
  • The functionality is working as expected, so the user is able to setup his/hers preferred language used for displaying product names in D365FO
  • My question is regarding the setup, since to my knowledge it can only be setup in the Product information parameters even though it is a user setting. But this means that all users have to have security access to maintain Product information parameters, and my client is not keen on this.
  • Am I missing something? How come the setup cannot be done in User options, where the user can choose his/her language for labels?


  • If I set the parameter Show user language to Yes, then Show selected language is greyed out. The purpose of this is to user the users preferred language from user settings. But this implies that all labels are in this language
  • My client wants to have all labels in en-us for the users, but let the user choose what translation of product names it will see in the system. E.g. in danish
  • The data for the field is per user, but I can only maintain it in Product information parameters
  • By testing with multiple users, and looking into the code, I can se that the fields Show user language and Show selected language are setup per user. Not per system or legal entity. For my client it is good that the setup is per user. But the problem is that all users have to have security access to maintain Product information parameters, and my client is not keen on this.

definitely a well requested improvement. I by chance raised the same request to the support team and they opened an identical idea https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=70317594-4027-ef11-8ee7-6045bdb88c35
