Important
The planned-features for this release wave have been updated and this feature appears to have been removed.
This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1.
The 3rd of the new functionality in the Country and regional section is install UK localization as an app.
The new and upgraded localized version for the United Kingdom is delivered as an extension.
By removing country-based customizations in the base app, delocalization can help organizations save time and money during implementation. This can be especially beneficial for organizations that operate in multiple countries or regions with different regulatory requirements because they can easily build PTEs and connect those environments. Delocalization can also help organizations get ISV solutions without limitations.

Feature Details
The localized version for the UK is now delivered as a set of extensions on top of the W1 base app. The solution offers a data upgrade, making it easy to move from the previous localization to the new extension. This release is a step toward full delocalization so that ISVs can release their apps to a broader market.
My Opinion
This sounds, on the surface, like it might be a positive, but also that there could be a lot of extra overhead and complexity. I worry about the phrase “set of extensions”.
