Hi,

You can translate annotations by using message records.

Check out the Docs.

The steps are:

Before you begin

Role required: admin

To support multiple languages, use message records to translate annotation text.

Procedure

Navigate to All > System UI > Messages.
Create a message record for each language you support.
On the Message form, set the Key field to a unique identifier for the annotation text.
The annotation text is a good key. The key must be the same for each translation message for the annotation.
Select the appropriate Language.
In the Message field, enter the translated annotation text.
Edit the form annotation and reference the message key with a gs.getMessage call.
For example, if the message key is Message key text, enter ${gs.getMessage("Message key text")} in the form annotation.
