Method 1: Setting in Chrome

  1. Click on the three dots at the very top right of the browser and select "Settings"

  2. Click on the menu for "Language" on the left or just search with the word "Language"

  3. If the language you need is not displayed, you must add it in the "Add language" option

  4. If the language is in the list, click on the three dots to the right of the language you want and select "Move to top" or "Move to top" - it must be at the top

  5. Then you can go back to the system and run a refresh with F5

Method 2: Setting with Chrome extension
1. By using a small additional program in Chrome (Extension), this can be done much faster and easier

Choice columns cannot be translated

Standard Sharepoint has a placeholder/option for translation of list names, column names and column descriptions. However, there is no placeholder for translation of choice columns. Choice columns are only available in Standard SharePoint in one language.

We have therefore added a functionality in our solution where we "add" translation of choice columns to other languages. This translation function then reads the original selection (which is English), and on the basis of this it displays the corresponding Norwegian, Swedish or Finnish selections.

This functionality is ONLY available where we have the opportunity to add our scripts. That is, inside the forms (New, Edit and Disp form) as well as in custom made pages (such as the front page of Better).

Normal modern list views have no placeholder for script, so there you will see the original selection, which is in English. We cannot change this.
