# Request translations

The Localization Framework provides the means to select one or more activated languages while requesting translations for artifacts from English into different languages.

## Request translations in the Localization Framework

-   Define localization preferences for the languages available in the instance to request translations.
-   Lists only the activated languages in the instance to choose for localization of the content.

    **Note:** Before you request for translations, ensure to activate all the required languages in the instance. For more information, see [Activate a language](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/system-localization/t_ActivateALanguage.md).

-   Displays the translation status for each activated language only if translations have been requested for insights in those languages. The translation status is updated when the insights dashboard is generated.
-   Enables you to request translations from English into the selected language from the localization dashboard for the selected insights records.
-   Enables you to request translations for insights from English into one or more activated languages from their respective tables.
