# Set String Translations in Product Designer

Create translated text for names and descriptions for catalog entities, such as attributes, picklists, and products. The translated text is shown in the cart for the appropriate locale. You can modify the translated strings in the Vlocity Product Designer.

Before You Begin:

- Activate the needed locales (languages).
- Enable multi-language support in Vlocity CMT Administration.
- Configure objects and their fields for multi-language support.
- Run the Create Translation job to extract product data (base language) for translation.

For details on these tasks, see [Configuring Multi-Language Support for Shared Catalog](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.comms_configuring_multi_language_support_for_shared_catalog.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can configure the catalog to support over 25 different languages. Before applying these languages, you must configure the multi-language support feature for your shared catalog:").

Product administrators who are responsible for product catalog administration and lifecycle or contract generation configure the base language.

1. From the Vlocity Product Designer list, click **Vlocity String Translation**.
2. Find catalog entities to enter or edit the translated text.
