   | Internal name | An internal name for the artifact. |
   | Table name | Identifier of the table where information of the artifact is stored. For example, Catalog Items \[sc_cat_item\] table. |
   | Processor script | Extracts the translatable content associated with the translation request and saves the translations into the database.You can select a script include using the search ![magnifying glass icon]() icon, or you can create a new script include.
