Installing an extra language module in Business Central up till version 14 is fairly easy.
First you download the new module from:

Then you install the module in database via the Development environment and on the different clients as described here:

So, that’s easy
This week a partner asked me how to install a new language in Business Central from the 2019 Release Wave 2 (15), and that is actually a lot easier.
The answer is to make an extension with the desired language layer and then install the Extension.
So, let’s try to do that by installing a Swedish language layer in my own Danish database.
I will start by downloading the Swedish installation pack:
Then I unpack the installation file and the Base Application.Source.zip file
Then I copy the Base Application.sv-SE.xlf file to my desktop.
Now I make a new AL project in Visual Studio Code:
In the app.json file, I add an extra property features and set the values TranslationFile and GenerateCaptions.
Then I build the solution with Ctrl+Shift+B.
This will add the translation folder in the project:
Right now, the only values in the xlif file are the captions from the HelloWorks.al file.
So, now I delete the HelloWorld.al file and copy the Swedish xlf file from my desktop to the Translations folder, add some information to the app.json file, so that it looks like this:
I publish the extension to the server and wait for the Modern client to start up.
Then I can check the Extension Management to see if the extension is installed:
And to test it, I can switch to the Swedish language:
And now the Modern client speaks Swedish:
To uninstall, just go to extension management and uninstall the extension again.
