Language translation for notification

HARIRATHNA U

Hi 

 

If a notification is created in English and sent to a user whose preferred language is different, the notification will be displayed in English or user preferred language. Is it possible to change the language automatically to the user preferred accordingly?

 

Thanks

How to setup dynamic translation on email notifications for first time? 

-> If a user has a preferred language different from the default, ServiceNow can send a translated notification version

-> The user’s preferred language is set in the sys_user.language field.

I have one more question: Is it possible for custom fields? Or do we need to create labels for each fields? for different language translation?

@HARIRATHNA U 

yes custom fields can be translated.

Example: the field label can be translated etc and it's stored in sys_documentation, choices can also be translated
