Translate a lookup
Create a lookup and translate the items into multiple languages. The content that appears depends on the language selected.
To translate a lookup, define a list for the Default language and then provide translations for those items in other languages.
The lookup items in the default language serve as the master list; all translated versions have the same number of items as the master list.

When you translate, you cannot add or delete items on the lookup of supported languages because the master list controls this information.

When you add an item to the master list, the item becomes available for all supported languages.

When you delete an item from the master list, the corresponding item is removed from all supported languages.
