GlobalValueSetTranslation

Contains details for a global value set translation. Global value sets are lists of values that can be shared by multiple custom picklist fields, optionally across objects. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.

Important

File Suffix and Directory Location

GlobalValueSetTranslation components have the suffix .globalValueSetTranslation and are stored in the globalValueSetTranslations folder.

Translations are stored in a file with a format of ValueSetName-lang.globalValueSetTranslation, where ValueSetName is the global value set’s name, and lang is the translation language.

Version

GlobalValueSetTranslation components are available in API version 38.0 and later.
