The knowledge base has its own Translation Management system. However, when this is disabled, knowledge base articles use translated_html fields for translated content.

When any of the internationalization (I18N) plugins are enabled, the Knowledge Management Internationalization plugin is enabled. This plugin allows knowledge article authors to create language-specific articles and to translate
and access articles. For more information about Knowledge Management internationalization, see [Translation Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=translation-management&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) in the Knowledge Management documentation.

If the Knowledge Management Internationalization plugin is disabled, knowledge base articles
use translated_html fields for article content. This type of field displays the translation based
on the language of the user, if multiple translations are stored. To learn about using
translated_html fields, see [Translating text fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zTLSvgK1GMisrbvrJChKnw#c_UseTranslatedText "Translate long pieces of text into the language of the user.").
