Manage localized content

The Manage Localized Content screen displays a table that allows for the translation of localized content. Here, missing translations can be identified and entered.

Customers should first enter translations using the "Translate" action available on many maintenance pages. This allows for the translation of text within the context it was created. After entering translations using the "Translate" action on maintenance pages, administrators can use the Manage Localized Content page to identify and enter any missing translations.
