Translation Support for SuiteCloud Development Framework
With SuiteCloud Development Framework, developers can use file-based definitions of Translation Collections and term translations outside NetSuite, and in their own development environment.
Translation Collections in SuiteCloud Development Framework
This section covers Translation Collections provided in SDF that help make other parts of NetSuite translatable.
You can include Translation Collections and their translations in SDF SuiteApps or projects to set up or customize NetSuite automatically with customization bundles.
