Localizing a multi-regional pick list

You can localize a multi-regional pick list with items for multiple languages. When a user selects a multi-regional pick list, the items in the list are filtered to only display the localized items for the language that matches the browser language setting.

Note: 

The system administrator and users with the appropriate role can access these features. See What are Roles and Secured Actions?

To localize a pick list:

  1. Expand on Administration and click Pick Lists on Navigation bar.
  2. Click a pick list name in the list, or use the Lookup option to locate a pick list to access the Pick List detail view. See Using the Pick List detail view
  3. Verify that a Default Language is specified in the Pick List detail view. If the default language is not specified, click the arrow and select the default language from the list.
  4. Verify the Bound Type in Form option is set to Code. If required, click the Bound Type in Form arrow and select Code.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Use the Items tab to manage pick list items. See Using the Pick List Items tab
