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 Metadata and inherits its fields.

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.

Introduced in API version 38.0.
