Before adding a language for translation, you must select languages for your org and enable Translation Workbench.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Translation Language Settings, and then select Translation Language Settings.
- To activate a new language, click Add. Or to change an existing supported language, click Edit.
- If adding a language, choose a language.
- To make the entered translations available to your users, select
Active. Users can change their personal language
anytime, regardless of whether it's active in the Translation Workbench.
Selecting Active makes the translations available to the
users in that language.
We recommend that you don't make a language active until the translators have translated all values.
Note Inactive status controls only what users see: it doesn't affect exports or imports. Inactive languages are still included in exported translation files and remain available for translators to work on.Note If you installed a managed package that includes translations, those translated values appear to users regardless of whether the language is active on the Translation Language Settings Setup page. To override metadata translations delivered by a managed package for custom objects, see Override Translations in Second-Generation Managed Packages and Unlocked Packages. - To assign translators for this language, select them from the
Available List, and click Add.
If you don't see the member that you want to add, enter keywords in the search
box, and click Find.
Important Ensure that all translators have the View Setup and Configuration permission so that they can begin translating. Users can only translate languages that they're assigned to. - Save your changes.
