Now <strong> we have the ability to define the text in another language and its corresponding translation <\/strong> will be found in the translation file. In addition, we will find a file for each language we want to translate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snippets\"><\/span>Snippets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another point to note is that each developer can program their <strong> own snippets <\/strong>. A snippet is a term used in programming to refer to small parts of the source code that are reusable. In this way, <strong> the programmer does not need to develop the code every time <\/strong> from 0 but can insert it with some ease, with the corresponding time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By means of snippets the writing of the code is facilitated since, simply by entering a word, the AL language suggests the snippet that you are looking for automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this line, it should be noted that <strong> in AL programming <\/strong>, as is the case in most programming languages \u200b\u200band codes, the language automatically recognizes <strong> objects when you are starting to type the word and from this mode simplifies development and streamlines at the same time <\/strong>. This characteristic, which may seem fundamental, did not exist in the C\/AL language, so it was more cumbersome to identify which field or variable we wanted to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we can point out that <strong> if we are wrong in the syntax <\/strong> or we are using some <strong> incorrect variable, we will be shown a small informative text <\/strong> in which it is detailed because the code is failing We have written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em> &#8220;The <strong> development in AL <\/strong> that is still one of the many languages \u200b\u200bthat exist, but I highlight the extension programming, that is, this new language collects all the necessary code to develop a new functionality more clustered than the old C\/AL language, where you could find lines of code in countless objects.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp; Genis Bosch<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You may also like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triangle.es\/en\/how-to-configure-soap-services-in-dynamics-nav\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to configure soap services in Dynamics NAV?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triangle.es\/en\/productivity-improvements-business-central-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Productivity Improvements Business Central 2019<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triangle.es\/en\/benefits-of-implementing-an-erp-in-a-small-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benefits of implementing an ERP in a small company<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no surprise.
