Locking Translation Collections
The lock option for Translation Collections is for users who want to pack translatable fields with their translations and deploy them to another account.
You can't edit, export, or import translations for a locked Translation Collection—you can only view it.
You need to enable Creating Bundles with SuiteBundler before you can make locked collections. To enable it, go to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features, open the SuiteCloud subtab, check the Create Bundles with SuiteBundler box in the SuiteBundler section, and click Save.

-
Create a Translation Collection by following the steps in Managing Translation Collections.
-
BStart creating a bundle by following step 1 and 2 in Creating a Bundle with the Bundle Builder.
-
In Step 3 Select Objects, pick the Translation Collection you want to lock and deploy to another account. All available Translation Collections are listed under Translation Collections. You can also pick any custom objects with translatable fields to deploy.

-

Select Push in the Action menu next to the bundle you created in step 5.
-
