Create records on the Translated Name / Field table to translate elements of your mobile app that aren't natively translated.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Use these steps to add translations for your mobile device that aren't already translated by your mobile device's native translation settings. To see which elements must be manually translated, switch
your mobile device's native language to the language you're working on. Then view your mobile apps to see which values remain in English. To translate the remaining values, follow the procedural steps in the next section.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem LocalizationTranslated Name / Fields
2. Select New to create a Translated Name / Fields record.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.

   | Language | Two-character ISO language code for this translated text. |
   | Value | Original English value that causes this translated text to be displayed. |
   | Table | Select a table depending on the element to be translated: * For Screen names, use sys_sg_screen * For Launcher names, use sys_sg_applet_launcher * For Function names, use sys_sg_button_instance * For global search placeholder text, use sys_sg_global_search * For search source names, use sys_search_source {#mobile-translation__ul_q3j_tpw_mhc} |
