Translate Display Text Message

For this I will create a screen flow and inside the screen, add a Display Text element. Inside the Display Text element, the message I want to display is "Welcome to Technical Potpourri". In order to display the message in multi-language (in my scenario, the two languages I am supporting are English and French), I will be using the custom label and inside the custom label put the French translation. Finally will be using the custom label inside the Display Text element. By using this techniques, my message will be displayed both in English and French language depending on the running user's locale.

Translate Input Text Element's Label

For this one, I will add the next element in the same screen flow i.e. Text element. Inside Text element's label field, I will add the text "Enter Your Full Name". Now to support English and French language for this text, I will be using the Translation Workbench. For that I will go to Setup -> User Interface -> Translate Workbench -> Translate. There I will select the below configuration and put the corresponding French translation. By using this technique, my text message's label will be displayed in both English and French language depending on the running user's locate

Translate Input Text Element's Help Text Message

To translate Text element's help text, either I can use Custom Label or I can use the Translate Workbench to translate the text. Result will make sure help text will be displayed based on running user's locale.

Translate Input Text Element's Validate Input Text Message

To translate Text element's Validate Input text message, either I can use Custom Label or I can use the Translate Workbench to translate the text. Let's assume, my validation check is, if text input contains more than 1 characte, I will consider this a valid input, otherwise I will consider this a invalid input and through the corresponding error message. First thing I will do is mark the element is mandary, and then put the logic and error message in the configuration section of the element. Finally, I will be using the Translation Workbench to put the corresponding French Translation. Again you can definitely use the Custom Label to achieve the same goal.

Translate Flow Screen's Footer Elements

To achieve this, I will be adding my second screen in the flow. In the first screen, I will be changing the text for below footer element button's as -

• Next or Finish Button - Go To Next Page
• Pause Button - Hold On

In the second screen, I will be changing the text for below footer element button's as -

• Next or Finish Button - End
• Pause Button - Hold On
• Previous Button - Go Back

Finally, I will be using the Translation Workbench to put the corresponding French Translation. Again you can definitely use the Custom Label to achieve the same goal. 

Final Thoughts

That's all for today. I hope you will be able to handle translation requirement for your Salesforce flow's without writing any custom lwc or aura components. I will be adding more elements in this post if the way to handle the translation is different i.e. other than Custom Label or Translation Workbench. Please provide your feedback. Thank you !!
