Localization Settings

You can use the Localization Settings tab to modify the strings that appear in the application's user interface. This can help your organization address any localized language requirements that you may have. If you add new elements, such as views, attributes, forms, or charts, you will be able to localize the strings associated with the new elements.

You can filter the text strings available in the user interface by language and by string type. English (United States) is the default language; any new element created will be associated with an English (United States) value. Strings must be modified individually. Default text strings are associated with the English (United States) string values. Updating the English (United States) string values will update the default text string values.
