NAV translation script

Powershell script used for the creation of NAV translation files. This enables you to keep track of all of the translations directly in the AL code.

Usage

Make sure to enable the translation feature in app.json

{
    ...
    "features": [ "TranslationFile"],
    ...
}

Add translations in AL code by using a comment:

Caption = 'English',
    Comment = '[NLD = Dutch][NLB = Dutch Belguim]';

⚠️ Brackets ('[' and ']') are not allowed in the translations as they (probably) break the regex that is used.

Run the script after compiling with .\create_translations.ps1.
