Note Before enabling data translation, note these important considerations:

- Data translation requires API version 48.0 or later.
- Data translation counts against your Salesforce org’s storage limits.
- Data translation is available on some objects and fields. For example, data translation is available on the Industries Record Alert, Product, and Product Category objects.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Company Information, and then select **Company Information**.
2. In the Organization Detail section, click **Edit**.
3. Select **Enable Data Translation**.
4. Click **Save**.
    
    Data translation is available for the Name and Description fields through the Translation tab within Product. You can also manage your data translations through the Export and Import options within Translation Workbench.

Optionally, enable data translation for custom fields.
