Is there a way to translate a checklist?

[joseGaray]

Can checklists in an HR task be translated? I would think not since they are created from a template that is just a JSON. But maybe there is a workaround someone has found? like adding a gs.get message to the ng-for that displays the checklist or something?

hi @joseGaray ,

 I doubt if you will be able to translate the checklist,  checklist_item records, for which the name field is just a plain string field.

Please mark helpful & correct answer if it's really worthy for you.

Thanks,

Hello @joseGaray 

Have you enabled debug translations and check which translation table that check list belongs to? If yes, you can make an entry in the table and get that translated.

Please refer below doc:

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct if helped.

Hi @joseGaray,

Currently I'm afraid the answer is not directly at this time. I have raised it with the various product teams and something is in the pipeline for a future version at some point. But my suggestion would be to raise it as an IDEA and I can discuss it with our Product Managers in our next strategy meeting,

Currently the best method is to create a template per language and load the checklists from that. A while ago I POC'd a way to hold the values (per language / country) in a custom table and pull them via a GlideAJAX in a UI Action,

Many thanks,
Kind regards
