Locking Translation Collections

The option to lock Translation Collections is designed for users who want to pack translatable fields with their translations and deploy them into another account.

A locked Translation Collection cannot be edited, directly exported or its translations imported. The only available option is to view the locked Translation Collection.

For more information about translatable fields that support locking, see List of Supported Translatable Fields. In this list, the Lockable in Bundler and Lockable in Manage Translations columns inform of the levels on which a collection containing respective translatable field can be locked.

Note:

Creating Bundles with SuiteBundler must be enabled before you can create locked collections. To enable this feature, go to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features, go to SuiteCloud subtab, check the Create Bundles with SuiteBundler box in SuiteBundler section, and Save.

To Create and Export Locked Translation Collections:

Begin creating a bundle by following the Step 1 and Step 2 of the process listed in Creating a Bundle with the Bundle Builder.
In Step 3 of Bundle creation, Select Objects, you can select the Translation Collection which is to be locked and deployed to another account.
