Localization support with Lookups #85

Open slautebach opened 5 years ago

slautebach commented 5 years ago

What is the recommend way to support localization for lookup records on xRM Portals? We are looking at implementing a plugin in Dynamics CRM to handle this. Our question is how does the Portal handle localization when interacting with Dynamics CRM. Is there a way at the plugin level to get the Portal localization language? The user account connecting to Dynamics only supports one language. We have came across old documentation where adxstudio had a way to support multiple languages for lookups, but it appears that was dropped by the MS Portals changes. We have not been able to find any documentation or recommendations on how to support localizing lookups.

This seems to have had a very solid thought through back in V6 according to the adxstudio documentation, and secretly I hope it actually still works as described, and it's just a documentation issue that says it is only supported that way in V6 (and hopefully, it's V6 and after?).

Seems fundamental to value proposition of Portals, consider a Country entity, with the name of the country in several languages, and a 2 character iso country code (I imagine most deployments have something very similar to this). You'd expect when looking at a record with a Lookup to one of the Country records it would be able to display a name field from the users current language?

I have tried and tested that, and it doesn't work. Does anyone have any other recommendations/suggestions?
