Remarks

Note

To submit an app to AppSource, you must use .xliff translation files. For more information, see Working with Translation Files.

The CaptionML property is multilanguage enabled, so it can contain a list of text strings in different languages. The string that is used is selected according to the user's language settings. For more information, see Working with Translation Files.

The CaptionML property has the following format.

<Language ID>='<caption>'

<Language ID> is the standard Windows three-letter language ID, and <caption> is the caption text for this language. Use commas to separate entries.

The following example shows a CaptionML value.

CaptionML = DEU='Name',DAN='Navn',ESP='Nombre',FRA='Nom',ENC='Name';

In this example, values are set for Danish (DAN), German Standard (DEU), Spanish Traditional Sort (ESP), French Standard (FRA), and English Canadian (ENC).

Note

On Role Center type pages, the CaptionML property value is used as the display name for the associated Profile in the client.

Default Values

  1. If there is an ENU entry, then its caption string is used.
