Facing issue with translation

Identified an issue where some recently made changes on the ABC catalog item(created two choices x and y for list collector variable referencing to Question choice table) are not visible for Japanese and other language users. while I'm going through the issue I found there are no records created for different languages in Translated Name / Fields however for the previous choices system created Translated Name / Fields records for other languages 

can someone  please let me know what could be the issue and how to create other language records in Translated Name / Fields

 

Thanks in advance,

ganasekhar.

1. You need to create translation in "sys_translated_list".

2. In the table field search "question_choice". These are all OOB translated choices. You can take help from these and create translation. for your custom choices.

Thanks for your reply RaghavSh, to create manual records in the Translated Name / Fields table I'm not sure about what the labels look like in other languages and I would like to know how and under what circumstances the system created translation records for previous choices  

 

Thanks,

This is not dynamic translation, You need to enter the labels in other languages yourself.

Dynamic translation, where you dont need to enter the translated text your self is entirely a separate topic and it comes up with cost and integration with third party system like IBM or AWS or Google.

 

Note: The OOB fields/ labels are automatically translated by servicenow because they have entries in translated name/field table. For anything custom you need to populate the translation table manually.
