Metadata Translation

When you enable multiple languages in your Salesforce org, Salesforce translates some labels for you, based on the language type. For labels without a default translation, you can localize your apps and custom functionality for any Salesforce supported language through metadata translation.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Salesforce-provided translations vary by language type.

Language Type Translations Provided by Salesforce
Fully supported languages Metadata labels for all standard features, plus Help.
End-user languages Metadata labels for all standard objects and pages, except admin pages and Setup. No translations for Help.
Platform-only languages None

In situations where Salesforce doesn’t provide default translations, metadata translation allows you to localize apps and custom functionality that you build in Salesforce. You can translate items such as custom labels, custom objects, and field names.
