* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

ServiceNow stores translation
information in these tables.
* Languages \[sys_language\]
* Translated Name / Field \[sys_translated\]
* Messages \[sys_ui_message\]
* Field label \[sys_documentation\]
* Choice \[sys_choice\]
* Translated Text \[sys_translated_text\]

To see which table contains a specific translated label, enable the display of translation
prefixes. For more information, see [Debug translations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4f7q~SHBu6sJE5zt7ax2yQ "Show which UI strings are translatable and their translation table to debug translations.").  
Note:  
The Languages table is available only after at least one I18N:Internationalization plugin has been activated.
* **[Languages table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/576kSZWr6eLtuLg0lnBMtg)**   
  The Languages \[sys_language\] table contains a list of the languages for which translated text is available.
* **[Choice table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6i3tVR_Ve1jwUKbIt7dIcA)**   
  The Choice \[sys_choice\] table contains translated text for options that appear in lists.
* **[Translated Name / Field table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/M8HXfZe7p7n16ihSxwPSIg)**   
  The Translated Name / Fields \[sys_translated\] table stores translated values for text fields where the field type is translated_field (see the dictionary entry).
* **[Field Label table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1kljvzBrpWVb~gOMU4o9KQ)**   
  The Field Label \[sys_documentation\] table stores the text of table names along with the singular and plural labels for each field in the table.
* **[Translated text table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ecYSWM7LU0EDqiZ51Zm8yQ)**   
  The Translated Text \[sys_translated_text\] table stores translations for fields with the field type translated_text or translated_html (see the dictionary entry).
* **[Message table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_oQjz16M~D57BRNpuB8NVg)**   
  The Message \[sys_ui_message\] table contains the translations for informational messages, confirmation messages, error messages, and other types of system messages across the platform.
