Specifies whether picklist field values should be translated into the language of the currently authenticated Salesforce user.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, the connector retrieves raw picklist values as stored in Salesforce. When TranslatePickListFields is set to true, the connector translates these values into the user’s preferred language based on their Salesforce profile settings. This helps ensure that picklist values are displayed in a familiar, localized format that matches what the user would see in the Salesforce UI.

This setting can be particularly useful for reports, dashboards, and user-facing applications where translations improve clarity and usability. However, if integration with systems or datasets that rely on raw picklist values is required, this property should remain disabled.

Performance Considerations

Enabling picklist translation may result in additional API calls or metadata lookups, which can slightly increase schema discovery time or query overhead. Additionally, maintaining consistency with external systems that store untranslated values may require disabling this property or using SkipPickListTranslation for selective control.

This property is useful for organizations that support multi-language environments and want their picklist fields to appear in the local language for each authenticated user.
