Enabling Translation Workbench makes these changes to your Salesforce org. If a customized component doesn’t have a translated value, the component uses the org’s default language. When you deactivate a language, all translations for that language are still available in Translation Workbench. However, users with that language selected see the org’s default language values.
- The Manage Translation systems permission is available in permission sets.
- You must edit picklist values individually. You can’t mass-edit existing picklist values, but you can still mass-add new values.
- When picklist values are sorted alphabetically, the values are alphabetical by the user's locale.
- Reports have a Filter Language dropdown list in the Filters pane of the report builder. Selecting a language filters on translated strings for any filter criteria that use the starts with, contains, or doesn’t contain operator.
- Import files have a Language dropdown list, and all records and values within the import file must be in the selected language.
- Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case have a Language dropdown list before you generate the HTML.
