Translation Workbench #inSalesforce

This is to maintain translated values for metadata and data labels in your Salesforce org. 

Specify languages for translation and assign translators (responsible for the language) for each language. 


Translation Language Settings

The translation workbench allows you to create translations for the customizations you’ve made to your organization. 

Many things like custom pick list values, custom fields etc. can be translated so your global users can use all of Salesforce.com in their language without any trouble.


Note:

If you want to use the translation workbench, you need to enable it. Enabling the workbench makes some changes to your Salesforce.com organization:

  • Picklist values must be edited individually. This means you can’t mass edit picklist values, though you can still mass add new values.
  • When picklist values are sorted alphabetically, the values are alphabetical by the organization's default language.
  • Reports have a language dropdown on the filter criteria page when any filter criteria uses the "starts with", "contains" or "does not contain" operators.
  • Import files have a language dropdown and all records and values within the import file must be in that language.
  • Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case have a language dropdown before you generate the HTML.
  • All rules and setup data must be entered in the organization's default language - Global administrators must work together in the organization's default language.


If you’d like to proceed with using the workbench, click Enable. If you need to turn the workbench off, click Disable on the translation language settings page.


Steps:

Setup | start typing Translation in the quick find box | Select Translate Language Settings | Enable

Click Add to select the languages your organization supports and the users who are responsible for translating that language.
