Translate your custom CRM content

If your account's users work in multiple languages, you can create translations for your custom CRM data. You can create translations for custom properties, including custom pipelines, pipeline stage properties, custom association labels, and custom object labels.

Add translations for CRM data

Users must have Super Admin or Custom data translations access to create translations.

Please note: translations are not currently supported for line items.

• In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
• In the left sidebar menu, under Data Management, navigate to Translations.
• If you're creating your first translation, click Add custom data translation. If you're adding an additional translation, click Add translation in the top right.
• In the dialog box, select the language you want to translate CRM data into, then click Add.
• In the table, hover over the language, then click Export. In the dialog box, click Export to download the translation file.

• The exported file contains the type of data that can be translated, the status of the translation, the default text to be translated, and a reference key. In the file, add translations in the column of the corresponding translation language (e.g., French translation, Spanish translation, etc.).

• Once the file is ready, return to the Translations settings, hover over the language, then click Import.
• In the dialog box, choose a translation file to import, then click Import.
• Once the import is processed, to turn on the translation, hover over the language, then click Turn on.

Once turned on, translated data will be visible to users who use HubSpot in that language. For users editing property labels or options within HubSpot, translated values will not be visible.

Manage CRM data translations

One you've created translations, you can edit translated content, translate additional content as it becomes available, or turn off a language's translations.

• In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
• In the left sidebar menu, under Data Management, navigate to Translations.
• To add, edit, or remove translations:
  • Export the translation file. The file will contain values you previously imported, and empty cells for missing translations.
  • Update the file depending on your goal:
    • To add new translations, add values in the empty cells of the language column.
    • To edit existing translations, update the values in the language column.
    • To remove existing translations, clear the values in the language column.
  • Navigate back to the Translations settings, then import the file.

• To turn off a translation, hover over the language, then click Turn off. In the dialog box, click Turn off to confirm.

• To turn a translation back on, hover over the language, then click Turn on.
