The Translation Dictionary provides the following search filters:

- **Language –** Any available language on the website.
- **Source –** The type of object or where the object is sourced from: Attribute, Attribute Value, Label, Setting, Style Trait, Style Trait Value, and Unit of Measure.
- **Keyword –** The display name of the object.
- **Translation –** The translated text displayed when a user changes the website language.

To show only records where translations are needed, click the **Only Show Missing Translations** toggle.
