Before adding a language for translation, ensure that you select languages for your org and enable Translation Workbench.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Translation Language Settings, and then select **Translation Language Settings**.
2. To add a language, click **Add**.
3. From the Language dropdown, select a language.
4. To make the translations available to your users, select **Active**.
    
    Users can change their personal language anytime even if the language is active in the Translation Workbench.

    Note We recommend that you make a language active after the translators translate all values.

    Note Inactive status controls only what users see: it doesn't affect exports or imports. Inactive languages are still included in exported translation files and remain available for translators to work on.
5. Under Identify Translators for this Language, select a user from the Available List box, and then click **Add** to move the user to the Selected List box.
    
    The selected user controls the language translation.

    Important Assign translators the View Setup and Configuration permission to enable them to translate. Users can translate only assigned languages.
6. Save your changes.
