## Create a translation component

When working with a multi-language app, the first step is to create a reusable component for translation. In this component, you'll store a table that acts as the dictionary of all translations you'll need. An output property will be used to provide output strings from this dictionary table based on the language of the user running the app that uses this component.

1. Sign in to [Power Apps](https://make.powerapps.com).
