Define translated values for the variables in your CPQ quote template content. You can define translations in any language that Salesforce supports. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)
Required Editions
| Available in: Salesforce CPQ Spring ’16 and later |
- In the template content record you want to translate, click Translate.
- Select the language you want to translate your variables into.
-
Complete these fields for each translation you want to make.
-
Variable Name: Enter your template content variable. Template content variables are
written as
{!Text.VariableName}. - Description: Enter a description of your translation.
- Translated Value: Enter the translated value that your template content shows when you translate your quote document into your selected language.
-
Variable Name: Enter your template content variable. Template content variables are

- Click Save to store your translations and return to your template content record, or click Quick Save to save your translations and remain on the Translations page.
- To define translations for other languages, repeat steps 2 through 4.
- In your template content record, click Edit.
- Add your variables to your template content.
Example
Your company needs Spanish translations for their Quotation and QuoteNumber template content variables, so you define translations for these variables as follows.
- Quotation
- Variable Name:
{!template.Quotation__c} - Definition: Label for Quotation
- Translated Value: Cita de vente
- QuoteNumber
- Variable Name:
{!template.QuoteNumber__c} - Definition: Quote Number
- Translated Value: Numero de cita
The variable name on the Translations page must be the field’s API name without the __c. In this example, you would use Quotation.
Important
- When you want to translate a quote document, make sure that you select a specific document language rather than Default. When you select Default, Salesforce CPQ shows only untranslated content. This process means that Salesforce CPQ doesn’t show user-translated template content such as merge fields and labels with variable translation values.
- Picklist values aren’t translated when the picklist field is used in the Group Field of the quote template, even if the document language and user language are changed.
