How do I translate enumeration pick-list values to other languages?
Question

How do I translate enumeration pick-list values to other languages so they appear in a user's localized language?

Answer

Microsoft Excel enumeration files have a secondary tab called Translations that you use to translate pick-list values for other locales. This tab only appears in Excel format, and not in comma-separated values (CSV) format.

To create translations for your enumerations:

  1. Access the Translations tab of the Excel enumeration file.
  2. Copy the data for the Enumeration, Display Value, and Value columns from the Enumerations tab to the Translations tab.
  3. Assign a translation for each enumeration value by using the Locale and Translation columns. For example:

    Enumeration Display Value Value Locale Translation
    Color Red Red en_US Red
    Color Green Green en_US Green
    Color Red Red es_ES Rojo
    Color Green Green es_ES Verde
    Color Red Red fr_FR Rouge
    Color Green Green fr_FR Vert

  4. Save the file.
  5. Go to Customization Manager > Enumerations to import the file.
