# 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.

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.

- **[Metadata Available for Translation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.translatable_customizations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can translate metadata labels only for certain Salesforce Setup components.
- **[Flow Components for Metadata Translation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.workbench_flow_components.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Flow components are the parts of a flow you can translate.
