@Ravi Chandra_K,

Ok, so there's a few things to unpack here. The first one is to be aware how the UI translation tables work (I have a blog post here about them), then when familiar with those you would need to review your field type. If it's a "string" type field then it wouldn't work and would need to be changed to a "translated_text" field type,

Many thanks,
Kind regards
