The Localization Framework enables you to select one or more activated
languages while requesting translations for artifacts.

## Request translations in the Localization Framework {#language-picker-ui__section_r51_d34_rnb}

* Define localization preferences for the languages available in the instance to request translations.
* Lists only the activated languages in the instance to choose for localization of the content.  
  Note:  
  Before you request for translations, ensure to activate all the required languages in the instance. For more information, see [Activate a language](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/JVX9OJGGemU7rGe1QNjBRw "By default, the language supported by the platform is American English. You can activate plugins for other supported languages if you have the admin role.").
* Displays the translation status for each activated language only if translations have been requested for insights in those languages. The translation status is updated when the insights dashboard is generated.
* Enables you to request translations in the selected language from the localization dashboard for the selected insights records.
* Enables you to request translations for insights into one or more activated languages from their respective tables.
