Hello,

Can anyone guide me how i can translate the variable set and i am aware that we can do it via "Translated Name/Fields"

but i have 3 fields in the variale set what should go in "Element" field?

I have used the table as "item_option_new_set_list" not sure what i should use in place of element.

Please guide me!!!!

To translate the variable label entered in "question", Table should be "question".

Table "item_option_new_set" is used to translated the mrvs variable set name itself and not the variables in mrvs.

Hi,


If you want to translate the variable set name then use name in that element field.


If you want to translate the title then use title and if you want to use other fields then use the dictionary name of that fields.


Thanks,

Fields names are translated in "Translated Name/Fields" but if the fields are created when the developer's language is "English", a new entry in the table is not created because English is the default language.

Change the developer's language to some other language and then create a field to add an entry to the translation table.

In the following screenshot, I've added "column1" when the login language was in Japanese and added "column2" when the language was English. Both are mrvs variables.

"column1" was added to the Translated Name/Field but not "column2".

Thus, if all the fields were created in English, it is necessary to manually add the entries in Translated Name/Field.

To be clear, translations of variables in mrvs are treated the same as variables on the form.

Translation records for variables, however, are not added to Translated Name/Fields" table if the form/mrvs is created in the default ServiceNow language. In this case, a translation records need to be added.
