# How To: Create Multilingual Documents

Output translated values with Translation Workbench, substitute, or toLabel().

Use template attributes and translated Salesforce values when documents need to match user language settings.

### Problem

You need templates that display values in different languages based on user settings or picklist translations.

### Solution 1: Using Translation Workbench

**Setup Required:**

1. Enable Translation Workbench in Setup.
2. Translate your picklist values.
3. Ensure users have language preferences set.

**In Your Template:**

```
{{!Product2.Color__c translate="true"}}
```

If the user's language is French and `Blue` is translated to `Bleu`:

**Result:** `Bleu`

### Solution 2: Using Substitute in Related Lists

**For German Documents:**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitems>
<listname>opportunitylineitems</listname>
<column>PricebookEntry.Product2.name</column>
<column substitute="true,Ja,false,Nein">IsActive__c</column>
<column substitute="1,Januar,2,Februar,3,März,4,April,5,Mai,6,Juni,7,Juli,8,August,9,September,10,Oktober,11,November,12,Dezember">Month_Number__c</column>
</lineitems>
}}-->
```

### Solution 3: Using SOQL with `toLabel()`

**For Related Lists:**

```
<!--{{!
<LineItemsSOQL>
<class>none</class>
<soql>
SELECT toLabel(Status__c) 
FROM Case 
WHERE AccountId = '{{!Account.Id}}'
</soql>
<column>Status__c</column>
</LineItemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

### Tips

* Translation Workbench follows the user's language automatically.
* `substitute` is useful when Translation Workbench is not available.
* `toLabel()` respects the user's language.
* `format-date` month and day names always stay in English.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.sdocs.com/sdocs/advanced-template-logic/template-attributes/template-attributes-how-to-guides/how-to-create-multilingual-documents.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
