Translation Workbench

Use Translation Workbench to maintain translated values for metadata and data labels in your Salesforce org. Specify languages for translation and assign translators for each language. Manage translated values for any Salesforce supported language. Translators can maintain translations directly through the workbench, or you can export translation files for bulk translation imports.

Required Editions

Metadata translation available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Data translation available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
Data translation applies to: B2B Commerce
Note
Note Translation Workbench is only available for multi-language orgs. If you aren’t sure whether you have a single-language or multi-language organization, contact Salesforce Customer Support.
  • Enable or Disable Translation Workbench
    Translation Workbench allows you to specify languages for translation, assign translators, and manage your translations through the workbench or bulk translation.
  • Add Translated Languages and Translators
    Add languages for translation, assign translators for each language, and activate or deactivate a language’s translations.
  • Translate Metadata Labels
    Create and update metadata translations for customizations you make to your Salesforce organization, such as custom picklist values and custom field labels.
  • Override Translations in Second-Generation Managed Packages and Unlocked Packages
    You can override metadata translations for custom objects in namespaced unlocked packages and second-generation managed packages. For example, override the label on a custom field or workflow task.
  • Export Metadata Translation Files
    To easily translate your metadata, create files for your translators that contain your Salesforce org’s translatable metadata. Examples of translatable metadata include custom field labels, report type names, and picklist values.
  • Export Data Translation Files
    If data translation is enabled in your Salesforce org, you can create files for your translators that contain your org’s data translations. Examples of translatable data include B2B Commerce Product names and data stored in custom fields.
  • Work with Translation Files
    Translate metadata labels or data translation text, or review existing translations, with XML Localization Interchange File Format (.xlf) or Salesforce Translation Format (.stf) files.
  • Import Translated Files
    Import and update the translations for your Salesforce org’s metadata, such as custom fields, report types, and picklist values. Or import and update data translations, such as Product names. Typically, you export translation files from Salesforce, then send them to outside translators or a translation agency for bulk translation activities. You then import the translated files.
