SALESFORCE TRANSLATION WORKBENCH
Salesforce can be an invaluable tool for streamlining your global business operations, but it also presents several challenges. The Translation Workbench, part of Salesforce.com’s Force.com Platform, helps you manage the numerous complexities associated with translating your Salesforce data. By using the Translation Workbench, you can easily and accurately localize your data into multiple languages, making it easier and more efficient for your enterprise users in a variety of international client locations to better manage their data. The Translation Workbench simplifies the entire process of translating your Salesforce data. You start by creating custom labels in English, either manually or by using your company’s existing multilingual content library. Once your labels are uploaded to Salesforce, you select the languages you want to translate them into using the Translation Workbench. You can then designate unique labels in each language, or you can choose the “auto-translate” option for selected labels. This auto-translation feature is powered by Google Translate and is incredibly useful for creating a quick working translation that can then be further tweaked. Since the labels are stored in Salesforce, any changes you make to a label are automatically reflected in subsequent translations, greatly simplifying the process of keeping your label translations up-to-date and correct. The Translation Workbench also allows you to easily view which labels are translated and which ones still need localization, which helps streamline the entire localization process. Though Translation Workbench is incredibly useful in its own right, it works in conjunction with other Salesforce tools. For instance, the Sharing Rules feature can help you ensure that translated records are correctly shared with the enterprise users in any language. Additionally, you can also use Translation Workbench in tandem with the Global Value Sets feature to dynamically localize picklist values within the enterprise users’ regions. The Translation Workbench is an incredibly powerful and versatile tool for streamlining the process of translating and localizing your Salesforce data. It not only simplifies the process of translating labels in multiple languages, it also works in harmony with many other Salesforce features to help your enterprise users better manage their data accurately and consistently in multiple languages. With the Translation Workbench, keeping your Salesforce data up-to-date, organized and properly localized in multiple languages is easier than ever.
