ServiceNow – Field & Flow Labels Language Translation.

There is a difference in how you add/update a language translation in ServiceNow for standard fields and for the System Process Flow:

Different tables of translation:

Normal Labels (like ‘Company’ in the above image) are translated in the ‘Field Labels’ form (System Localization -> Field Labels)

System Process Flow Labels (like ‘In Queue’ in above image) are translated in the ‘Translated Name / Fields’ (System Localization -> Translated Name / Fields)

https:// [instancename].service-now.com/sys_translated_list.do?sysparm_query=&sysparm_view=

To Update Language in Record Producer:

Go to the Record Producer variables tab, look at the question field – NOT the name

  • swap to the language using your ui menu
  • Modify the question value then save the record.
  • Swap language back to english.
  • you should see the english the same as before.

You can now also see the same translation in the Translated Name / Fields table:
