To set up Primary Version and Translated Article viewing:

1. From Setup, select the **Object Manager** tab.
2. From the Object Manager, select the **Knowledge** object. Then select the **Lightning Record Page**.
3. Click **Edit**, which takes you to the **Lightning App Builder**.
4. Create a Translations tab in the right column and name it, Translations.
5. Drag the **Translation Primary Article** component onto the new Translations page.
6. Set component visibility filters, as needed. For example, if you set the filter to Is Primary Language Equal False, then the primary article component doesn’t show up. When you are on the primary language record (and you are not viewing the same version of the article in both columns).
