We want to change the translate the widget in other language . How should we proceed with that and does this will change the form as well which are been used under that .

To translate a widget in ServiceNow and apply translations to the forms within the widget, follow these steps:

1. Translate the Widget:

ServiceNow provides the ability to translate widgets using Resource Bundles.

• Create a Resource Bundle:

  1. Navigate to System UI > Resource Bundles.
  2. Create a new resource bundle with the widget's texts in different languages.
  3. Add key-value pairs for each language. For example, en for English, fr for French, etc.

• Use Resource Bundles in the Widget: Modify the widget's HTML or client-side script to use the resource bundle keys, like this:

  html

  Copy code

  <span>{{::'resource_key_name' | i18n}}</span>

  This will ensure that the text is automatically translated based on the user’s language settings.

2. Translate Forms (Used in Widgets):

Forms (and form fields) are translated separately using Field Translations and Messages.

• Form Field Translations:

  1. Go to System Localization > Field Translations.
  2. Add translations for fields used in forms.
  3. Ensure the translations for each language are provided for the form fields.

• Messages Translations: Messages used within the widget or in forms can be managed in System UI > Messages.

3. Apply Translations:

• The translations will automatically apply when a user changes their language preference in their profile (Settings > Language).
• Both the widget and the forms used in it will reflect the appropriate translations if they are configured correctly.
