How to Deploy a Translated Chart of Accounts in a Multiple Country Project

On the Dynamics AX Support Team's blog, Mohamed Aamer explains that enterprises that have subsidiaries in multiple countries can take advantage of the multi-language capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

In his post, Aamer focused on the translation of the shared chart of account functionality, which enables the translation of the client interface, including menus and data translation.

For instance, say a company has two subsidiaries, in one AX instance - the first legal entity is in the US and the second is in Italy. Aamer said the chart of accounts is exactly the same across the legal entities, and each legal entity is required to have the chart of accounts in its own language.

And in a real-life situation, you have to consider specific regulations from each country that relate to the chart of accounts, he said.
