# Translate the CDT labels

Translate column and field labels that are displayed by the rendered **Configurable Data Table** (CDT).

## Enable the CDT labels for translation by Translation Workbench

- **Header labels**—Leave the **Data Table Label Override** field empty when defining the **Data Table Configuration**.
- **Field labels**—Leave the **Field Label Override** field empty when defining fields to display in the CDT component. If you don't enter both **Field Label Translation** and **Field Label Override**, then the object field label value will be displayed.
- **Row- and header-level action button labels**—Leave the **Row Button Label Override** and **Header Button Label Override** empty when defining row- and header-level action buttons.

## Use Translation Workbench to translate labels

### Field labels

#### To translate standard Salesforce field labels

          
          

Salesforce automatically translates standard field labels as **Created By**, **Last Modified By**, and **Owner**.

1. Go to **Setup > Customize > Tab Names and Labels > Rename Tabs and Labels**.
2. Go to the **Custom Tabs** section.
3. Select **Edit** next to the custom object that you specified in your [CDT configuration](/v1/docs/define-cdt-configuration).
4. In the **Record Name** field, specify the **Object record name** translation.
5. Select **Save**.

#### To translate custom field labels

1. Go to **Setup > Lightning Experience Transition Assistant > User Interface > Translation Workbench > Translate**.
2. Enter the following filter criteria:
  - **Language**—As desired.
  - **Setup Component**—**Custom Field**.
  - **Object**—The object to display in the CDT component. For example, **Product Group Action**.
  - **Aspect**—**Field Label**.
3. **Select** Save.

### Action button labels

          
          

To translate global value sets in the CDT component, perform the following steps, only instead of **Data Table Header Buttons Labels** and **Data Table Row Buttons Labels**, choose any other global value set. For example, a **Product Group Action** status.

1. Go to **Setup > Picklist Value Sets**.
2. Depending on the type of button you are defining, select the **Data Table Row Buttons Labels** or **Data Table Header Buttons Labels** global value set.
3. In the **Values** section, enter a new value that will be translated.
4. Select the **Add the new picklist values to all Record Types that use this Global Value Set** checkbox.
5. Select **Save**.
6. Go back to the **Data Table Configuration** page, and choose the newly created **Row Button Label** or **Header Button Label** from a dropdown.

1. Go to **Setup > Lightning Experience Transition Assistant > User Interface > Translation Workbench > Translate**.
2. Enter the following filter criteria:
  - **Language**—As desired.
  - **Setup Component**—**Global Value Set**.
