Language setup in Localization Workspace

concept brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read lw-language-setup.md

Language setup enables you to flexibly configure target languages and their third-party translation service providers. When your users create translation requests, they can select the languages and providers you have configured.

Note: From version 3.0.0, two guided tours are available. One guided tour assists with configuring a language provider, and is accessible to users with the Localization administrator role (localization_admin). The other guided tour assists with configuring language groups, and is accessible to the Localization administrator and the Localization requester role (localization_requestor). Find the guided tours by selecting the Help Center icon [Omitted image "Banner_HelpIcon.png"] on the Localization Workspace Home screen.

Navigate to All > Localization Workspace > Language setup. The Language Provider tab opens by default, or you can select the Language Groups tab.

[Omitted image "lw-language-setup1.png"] Alt text: The Language setup tab with the Language Provider list open. Several example Language Providers are listed.

Roles in Language setup:

The localization_admin role is required to create or edit a Language Provider.
The sn_lw.user role can view Language Provider records, but can't create or edit them.
The sn_lw.user role can create Language Groups by selecting from existing Language Providers.
Configure a language provider
Set up language providers as part of configuring Localization Workspace. For each target language you can configure multiple providers with their pricing.
Configure language groups
After setting up individual language providers, you can define one or more language groups. Configuring language groups is an optional way to streamline the creation of translation requests.
