Before using Localization Workspace, configure prerequisites, dependencies, and translation providers.

## Configuration overview {#configuring-localization-workspace__cf-config-parent-checklist}

Localization Workspace builds upon the functionality of other ServiceNow AI Platform applications related to localization. These applications are activated with Localization Workspace if they are not already installed. You must complete the configuration of these applications before configuring Localization Workspace.

1. [Install Localization Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/w_UDwhxygYRaXtGkxYJiZQ "You can install the Localization Workspace application (sn_lw) if you have the admin role. The application installs related ServiceNow Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed. Demo data isn't available.").

   You can install the application (sn_lw) if you have the admin role. The application installs related applications and plugins if they are not already installed. Localization Workspace requires a Pro or Pro+ subscription.
2. Configure prerequisites.In the Yokohama release, you must confirm access to the \[sn_lf_setting\] table. The admin role is required for this step. The localization_admin role can't complete this step. See [Confirm access to Settings table](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/nONRppTG19XFXvHWafkwBg "As part of the configuration for Localization Workspace in Yokohama, confirm access to the Settings table of Localization Framework.").

3. Configure dependencies.
   * [Internationalization (i18n) and language plugins](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/JIIai6g9V9k8j4y3l2iOIw "Learn about support for localizing ServiceNow instances as part of your globalization strategy."): Install language plugins as part of System Localization. Choose your instance's languages according to your business requirements.
   * [Localization Framework:](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/AQVUYv0d4amG4qyN6ojyJw "Learn more about the Localization Framework app that enables a systematic localization process, so you can provide a seamless user experience in multiple languages.") Configure Localization Framework as follows.

     Assign roles. See [Localization Framework Roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/_rVqmQelQ3RwZy3kNQ6OyA#roles-localization-framework "Localization Framework uses different roles to manage different aspects of the application. The roles from Localization Framework are also used in Localization Workspace.").  
     Configure artifacts. See [Artifact configurations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/F~YyHnhdPqO1Cc5YJ0gHZg "You can configure the required artifacts and use the Localization Framework to fulfill the translation requests.").  
     Note:  
     When using Content Publishing artifacts, add the role sn_cd.content_admin to your Localization Workspace sys user group. This role is needed to see artifacts related to Content Publishing from Localization Workspace.

     Configure settings, including for the workflows of translation tasks. See [Localization Framework settings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/sucpqGd09fbj2pAsUZfljA "You can define translation and workflow preferences for one or more languages and for one or all the available artifacts with Localization Framework settings.").

     Configure a Translation Management System if your organization uses one. See [Translation Management System configurations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mSFDwCzJ0jqqbwJlpPE5QA "The Localization Framework supports integration with a translation management system to localize the content.").
   * [Dynamic Translation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/S_xAFZsLBsTg7K2iYVQqgA "With Dynamic Translation you can support machine translation from one language to another across your instance."): If you use machine translation to fulfill translation requests, configure Dynamic Translation, including setting up a translator configuration. See [Integration with other translation services](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/lk~RUCgstVfaYyLGjer~yg "Enable machine translation on your instance by integrating third-party translator services with Dynamic Translation. You can configure one or more translation service providers of your choice.").
4. [Configure a translation provider](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vrMZEuizatvSlpDyqKdylw "Set up translation providers as part of configuring Localization Workspace. For each target language you can configure multiple translation providers with their pricing.") in Localization Workspace. Translation providers in Localization Workspace are different from translator configurations in Dynamic Translation.
