## Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to questions about localization, including frequency, languages, and documentation.

How often do you localize Salesforce.org products?

We localize our product labels and text as part of every major seasonal release.

What languages do you localize into?

Salesforce.org localizes by package, not by product, so the languages vary. See [Available Languages](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.gem_loc.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "See the list of languages available for Gift Entry Manager."). Salesforce offers three levels of language support: fully supported languages, end-user languages, and platform-only languages. For more information, see [Supported Languages](https://help.salesforce.com/articleview?id=faq_getstart_what_languages_does.htm&type=5).

Do you localize product documentation?

We currently localize documentation for these products: Accounting Subledger, Accounting Subledger Legacy, Case Management, Education Cloud, Education Data Architecture (EDA), Grants Management, Insights Platform Data Integrity, Marketing Cloud Engagement for Industries, Nonprofit Cloud, Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP), Outbound Funds Module, Program Management Module (PMM), and Student Success Hub (SSH).

I noticed a mistake or something missing from a translation. Where do I report it?

Keep in mind that we update translations only for major releases, so they can be out of sync after minor releases. To report a mistake, [create a case](https://help.salesforce.com/supportandservices) with the Topic set to Setup and Security, and the Category set to Globalization and Localization.

Can I override translations?

Absolutely. You can use the Translation Workbench to override translations. To learn more, see [Translation Workbench](https://help.salesforce.com/articleview?id=platform.workbench.htm&type=5).

What's the difference between language and locale?

In Salesforce, you'll see both Language and Locale settings. Locale determines the display formats for date and time, addresses, phone numbers, and commas and periods in numbers. Language determines the language that objects, fields, settings, and user interface text appear in.

Do you accept translations from the community?

Even though many of our products are open source, we don't currently accept GitHub pull requests for localization contributions. The localization process requires a level of maintenance that's not realistic or sustainable for community contributors, and we therefore rely on our own localization programs to deliver high-quality, timely translations.

## Enable Languages

Enable localization in Salesforce for your Gift Entry Manager product.

We recommend that you complete these steps to enable a language for use in Gift Entry Manager:

1. Before using any translated languages, enable Translation Workbench in Setup. For information, see [Enable and Disable the Translation Workbench](https://help.salesforce.com/articleview?id=customize_wbench.htm).
2. If you're enabling a platform-only language:
    
    1. From Setup, search for and then select **Enable platform-only languages**.
    2. Move the desired language to the Displayed Languages list.
    3. Save your changes.

## Available Languages

See the list of languages available for Gift Entry Manager.

Salesforce.org provides translations into these languages. When you choose one of the supported languages during user (or org-wide) setup, Gift Entry Manager objects, fields, settings, and user interface text appear in that language.
