@madhu.reddy.kolama@a It appears that the localization packs do not provide a complete localization of the portal and there will be a number of application specific translations that need to be added manually for custom views and data pages. Additionally there are known limitations in Constellation applications such as the inability to localize decision tables decision trees case statuses radio buttons and drop down controls in a table. Paragraph rules that hold step instructions also require manual translation. If you are seeing some translations but not all it might be due to these limitations or the need for additional manual translations. ⚠ This is a GenAI-powered tool.

@madhu.reddy.kolama@a Adding to Marije’s point; Currently these labels are not available for localization in Constellation 24.1.1. It is a known gap and we cannot localize these fields even if we add the translation in the file. ---

Be aware that some Constellation localization fixes are being considered for certain errors where Localization entry for OOTB message do not currently exist. For example for the “New records have been added.” page list message in Constellation: Logged under: Fixed in: BUG-897283: → 24.1.3 BUG-897284: → 24.2.1 BUG-897285: → 25 BUG-897286: → 23.1.4 Do be aware of the known limitations described in [Unable to change out-of-the-box labels in Constellation](https://support.pega.com/support-doc/unable-change-out-box-labels-constellation) ---

Hi @Aditi_Mehta , Is it still a limitation in constellation 25.1.2? Can you share the known limitation (which cannot be achieved)? ---
