Update label translations for 12 languages to improve accuracy. Adopt ICU locale formats to standardize date, time, and currency formatting.

  • Review Updated Label Translations
    To improve accuracy and your users’ experience, we updated the translations for some standard object, tab, and field names for these languages: Arabic, Basque, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (European), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Spanish (Mexico), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
  • User Interface Language Translations to Catalan and Basque Are Generally Available
    Improve the experience of Catalan and Basque speakers with user interface language support for Service Cloud and Agentforce Public Sector. Catalan and Basque UI text falls back to Spanish when translations aren’t available.
  • Enable ICU Locale Formats (Release Update)
    With this update, the International Components for Unicode (ICU) locale formats replace Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK) locale formats in Salesforce. Locales control the format for dates, times, currencies, addresses, names, numeric values, and the start day of the week. ICU sets the international standard for these formats. The ICU locale formats provide a consistent experience across the platform and improve integration with ICU-compliant applications across the globe. This update was first made available in Winter ’20. Orgs that haven’t already switched to ICU locale formats are encouraged to manually update.
