Field values are the text entries that are used for fields with the type translated_field, such as the Title or Hint field in the Module \[sys_app_module\] table.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

The following procedure works best for translating values for individual fields, such
as those added with a customization. To translate large numbers of field values, use
the procedure described in [Export and edit translation records](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nw7FBFzmTHaJdlLlkrKW0w#t_TranslateTheInterface "Export translation records to translate to additional languages in your preferred translation environment and import the new or edited translation records through import sets.").

## Procedure

1. Use the language picker in the header bar to switch to the desired target language.
2. Navigate to the field on the form.
3. Update the field value with the text translated into the target language (Spanish).  
4. Select Update.  
   This creates a new record in the Translated Name / Field \[sys_translated\] table for the selected language or updates the existing record if a translation already exists. For more information about this table, see [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).").
