For fields that show the Translatable turned on badge, you can add translations of the field value in the Messages \[sys_ui_message\] table.

Translations of ServiceNow AI Platform® User interface (UI) elements are stored in one of five tables, as described in [Translation tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_TranslationTables&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US). When you see a field in the configuration panel of a dashboard element, and this field has the badge Translatable turned on, you can add translations of the field
value in the Messages \[sys_ui_message\] table.

In the Messages table, records have a key, a language, and a message field. You set the key value equal to the original text. Then you select a language, and enter the translation in that language into the Message field. Only ServiceNow AI Platform admins can create and edit these records. For more information, see [Translate a client script message](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_TranslateAClientScriptMessage&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).  
Note:  
For more information about how keys are stored for translatable fields, see this [ServiceNow Community blog post](https://www.servicenow.com/community/international-localization/need-to-translate-a-configurable-workspace-check-this/ta-p/2376015?nobounce). This post also includes a prototype Localization Framework artifact that finds all translatable fields in all UI Builder components on an instance, including dashboard components.
