Hi,

 

We need to translate our application. It is all customized, we have different tables and field, field values (everything is custom).

I need to understand is there an easy way we can export the data and provide it to client so that they can give us the translations? or i need to export going through every table and sys_choice data?

Hi,

 

Have you looked at the "Dynamic Translations" plugins?

 

https://docs.servicenow.com/search?q=Dynamic%20Translation

 

I have seen that when you add a language (plugin), that OOB sys_choice values are added. For the others, you'll need to add those I believe.  But I don't have experience with the Dynamic Translation feature, to know if it can add new sys_choice records for a language.

 

Maybe someone here has that experience and will respond.

Hi Bert_c1,

 

Not sure if that answers my question.  I need to know in order to translate custom fields, what is the best approach

Hi varsrivastava,

 

Start looking at the sys_documentation records for the desired fields, change the 'label' field value.  For any custom fields that have sys_choice records, add new records there for the desired language. I assume you have the "Core i18n" plugin activated and related "I18n:" language Translations plugins activated.

 

I have no other advice for you.  Maybe someone else here will post on this topic.
