1. From Setup, enter Translate in the Quick Find box, then select **Translate**.
2. Select the language you’re translating into.
3. Select **Managed Topic** for the Setup Component.
4. For Aspect, select **Field Label** for the topic name, and **Description** for the topic description.
5. In the Experience Name column, expand a site to see its primary topic names.
6. To enter language-specific names for topics, double-click in the Topic Name Translation column. For descriptions, double-click in the Topic Description Translation column.
    
    Consider the following when you’re using the Translation Workbench:
    
    - There’s no Metadata API support for translated topic names or descriptions.
    - While topic name uniqueness is guaranteed in English, the translator must ensure the uniqueness of topic names in the translated language.
    - Modifying topic names from Experience Workspaces or Experience Management only changes the English site. All translated topic name and description changes must be made using the Translation Workbench.
    - If a translated topic name is entered when the site is in English mode, the translated name can appear twice in the translated site.
    - When topics names are translated with the Translation Workbench, hashtags in the translated sites also change. For example, #help shows as #aiuto in Italian. If the site member then reverts to English from Italian, clicking the #aiuto hashtag gives an error message rather than showing the topic detail page of #help.

    Note To automatically add the translated version of a topic to translated articles, the translated topics and articles must already be uploaded in the system. Otherwise, the translated article is tagged with the English topic.
