Multiple Languages Translation Management
This topic provides information about managing multiple language translations. For an overview of translation options for custom records, see Adding Translations for Custom Records.
The Manage Translations feature enables you to manage your language translations using translation collections. If you use the multi-language feature, you should edit translations for custom records using a translation collection because it's more efficient than making the edits on the Translation subtab of custom records.
Language customizations made on the Translation subtab of custom records override the language set up in Home > Set Preferences. If you choose to edit translations using the Translation subtab, language changes will be visible only to users with the same language preference.
If you use SDF, you can enter translations in forms in the SDF XML. You should define translations using a translation collection. If you modify a form and enter a translation string directly in the form, the translations aren't connected to terms or translations collections and are visible only to users with the same language preference. If you change your language preference, then you must also define the translations for that language.
