Edit or translate interface text

You can edit or translate the interface text of the Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud to meet your company's needs.

You can work in the editor of Collibra, or you can copy the translation messages to a text file. You can then send the file to qualified translators, who may not have the required permissions to work in Collibra.

Tip You can download files containing the translation of the Collibra interface into French, German and Spanish from the Downloads page of the Collibra website.

Note Message keys are not always backwards compatible with other Collibra versions. When you upgrade to a newer version, there might be new keys, renamed keys or keys that have been deleted.
