Dynamic Translation | Dynamic translation on forms and activity streams

Import · May 11, 2021 · video

Inside any table on the platform, the 
text in forms and activity streams can   be dynamically translated based 
on the user’s preferred language.   After the Dynamic Translation plugin is installed 
and one translation service is set to default,   we need to configure a dictionary. For this, 
you’ll need to login with admin rights. We’ll use an open incident from 
the incident table as an example. As you can see, the short 
description is written in French.   Also, notice there is only one icon 
to the right of the text field.   To enable the translation for this field, 
which will give us another icon, we need to   configure a dictionary. Right click on the short 
description label and select configure dictionary. Add a new attribute called “Dynamic Translation 
Enabled,” set the value to true, and submit. When we return to the incident, 
we see a new icon for translation!   Click the icon and the text in the field will 
be translated to the user’s preferred language.   In this case, it’s translated to English. And if we go to the activity stream,   we’ll see that translation is 
automatically enabled here as well. For more information, see our product 
documentation, knowledge base,   or podcast. Or ask a question 
in the ServiceNow Community.
