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?

As you can see by my original screenshot, it did not change the French Label.

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.

Just want to let you know that the System Localization > Field Labels is where I found the solution.  There is an entry for the table in question with no element, and that is the one that will decide the label of the table.
