This guide will show you how to enable and manage translations for the value (content) entered in a Custom Field.
To translate the value of a field, you must first ensure that the translation feature is enabled in the field settings.
Part 1: Enable Translation on the Custom Field
Follow these steps to configure a field so that its content can be translated.
1. Access the Custom Fields configuration section (usually under Settings > Custom Fields).
2. In the left panel, find and click on the module item (for example, Products, Customers, etc.) for which you want to modify the fields. The title of this section is Select item to edit.
3. Once the module fields are loaded, locate the custom field you want to make translatable (identified by its Field Name).
4. Within that field's settings, look for the section labeled Translations.
5. In the dropdown menu under Translations, select the option Translatable.
6. Save the changes to the field configuration.
> Note: Most text-accepting field types (such as Short Text, Long Text, Number) support translation. Fields like Checkbox or those for uploading files/images are not translatable.
Part 2: Entering the Translated Value
After enabling translation, the translation icon will appear when you edit a record that uses that field.
1. Go to the specific module (for example, Edit Product or Edit Customer) where the custom field has been applied.
2. Open the record you want to edit.
3. Look for the tab or section named Additional Fields (or the name of the custom tab you assigned to the field).
4. Locate the custom field. Next to its label, you will notice the translation icon (a small globe or language icon: <i class="fa fa-language"></i>).
5. Click on the translation icon (<i class="fa fa-language"></i>). A modal window (popup) for managing translations will open.
6. In the translation window, enter the field’s value for each language supported by the system.
7. Save changes within the translation window.
8. Save the main module record (e.g., Save Product) to apply the translations.
The field value will now be displayed in the appropriate language depending on user language settings or viewing context (for example, on the website).
