How to update/modify OOB activity formatter

[Balakrishna_ABK]

I want to restrict translate icon to specific group in activity stream, so want to understand where OOB configuration is defined

@Balakrishna_ABK 

it comes from OOTB UI macro

I believe the code for that translate icon is coming from platform level and hence you can't edit that

Hi @Balakrishna_ABK 

It is OOTB and is useful for dynamic translation support. If you haven't activated the Dynamic Translation plugin, it will display only in English. Otherwise, this is the default OOTB behaviour and is available by design.

Hi @Balakrishna_ABK 

Out-of-the-box, ServiceNow does not support selectively enabling or disabling the "Translate" button for specific users or roles in the activity stream.

Only thing you can choose between global activation/deactivation . To  turn off Dynamic Translation for Activity stream , you can do it by creating a system property "glide.dynamic.translation.enable.activity_stream" and set the value to false
