Localization Framework support for Knowledge Base

concept brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read lf-support-for-kb-articles.md

Localization Framework enables the translation of Knowledge Base (KB) articles when a KB article is requested for translation into a language and when a localization requested item (LRITM) is created.

Localizing Knowledge Base

The extension of the Localization Framework capabilities to KB articles enables you to do the following tasks:

Select multiple languages from the available languages in the instance to configure settings with the knowledge base artifact. To configure localization settings, see Localization Framework settings.
Create LRITMs by requesting translations into one or more languages.
Translate the content of the KB articles directly using the request translations option.
Read, edit, and machine translate the content. You can also send the content to TMS or via email. You can export and import the content of the KB articles.

Note: Activate the Dynamic Translation plugin (com.glide.dynamic_translation) to use machine translation in Localization Framework.
Approve and publish the translated content.
Translate Knowledge Base articles in bulk in multiple languages.

For more information on translating the KB articles, see Knowledge base article localization.
