    • You can translate CMS sites by activating internationalization plugins and manually translating custom interface strings.

    Two tables support the translation of a CMS site into other languages.
    • Translated Name / Field [sys_translated]: Stores strings that are shared or commonly used within a site. These include menu section names, menu item names, site breadcrumb names, link names, and footer menu links. Internationalization plugins typically provide translations for these strings. SeeSystem Localization.
    • Translated Text [sys_translated_text]: Stores unique string translations which you create when you manually translate interface elements. See Export and edit translation records.

    Activate an internationalization plugin, which provides a quick way to see translated strings for CMS menus, breadcrumbs, and links. For a full translation, you must translate the instance manually.
