Translate custom fields in bulk?

[Sam Bartolome]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there is the possibility to translate custom fields in bulk.

We have all custome fields in English as intrnational company, but also some international local offices where they we would like to get the fields displayed in their own selected languages (Italian, French, Spanish, German ...)

I'm aware of the possibility to add the translation of a custom field in several languages as far you configure it, however the process is fully manual.

Is there a way to import that form a csv file or similar?
Thanks in advance

Hello @Sam Bartolome

Thank you for reaching out.

Indeed, Jira does not have a feature to configure multiple language options for multiple custom fields in a single shot.

CSV can be used to import issues, however, the best way to automate any other features of Jira would be by using REST APIs to create a script. That being said, I created the following feature request to add a REST API to edit, add or delete translation options:

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers Petter, I'll check on the APIs in the meantime
