Users can only find translated dashboards under certain
configurations. You can translate the dashboard name to make it searchable.

## Before you begin

On instances with language plugins enabled, the application first determines the
database behind the instance. If the database is MySQL, then it looks for the user's
session language and searches for the translated dashboard. For more information
about language plugins, see [Activate a
language](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ActivateALanguage&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

The search function only works for translated dashboards when the instance uses the
MySQL database and the dashboard translation is provided.

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Log in to the instance in the source language.
2. Navigate to AllPerformance AnalyticsDashboards.
3. Open the dashboard that you want to translate.
4. Select your user icon and choose Preferences.
5. Select the Language \& Region tile.
6. From the Language menu, select the target language and close the dialog.  
   Extra languages are available when there are enabled language plugins on the instance.
7. From the context menu ![context menu icon](), select Dashboard Properties.
8. Translate the dashboard name into the target language and select Update.

## Result

Users can search for the dashboard using the translated name when their system is set to the target language.
