Translation of Table Label, where is it done?

[tahnalos]

Our client is a bilingual client that wants to use both languages in the ServiceNow Environment.  However, due to language conventions in the country in question, most translations in the table names are incorrect and require a change to the table label.   We will note that the Label field on sys_db_object is of type Documentation Field, and changing the english version of the table works, so wondering where we can change the labels for our non-english languages?

Hi @tahnalos ,

Can you share the screen shot what you have added.

Ensure Following fields you have filled up

Create a new record or modify an existing one to specify the translated information:

• Language: Select the target language (e.g., Spanish or Japanese).
• Table: The technical name of the sys_db_object table.
• Element: Leave blank.
• Label: Enter the translated name of the table.
• Plural: (Optional) Enter the translated plural version if needed

For which table should the translated label go to?  I previously tried doing the Translated Name / Fields table and the Translated Text table, and neither one seems to work.

Hello @tahnalos ,

For manual translation in ServiceNow, it depends on 5 tables are translated names/fields, messages, field labels, translated texts and choices. To find which words are present in which table, in filter navigator search enable i18 debugging. Once debug, seach disable i18 debugging for disable it.

For the prefix TRF, navigate to System Localization > Translated Names/Fields.
For the prefix MSG, navigate to System Localization > Messages.
For the prefix GMLD, navigate to System Localization > Field Labels.
For the prefix TRT, navigate to System Localization > Translated text.
For the prefix CHC, navigate to System Localization > Choices.

Please let me know if you have further queries.
