# Localization Framework support for Knowledge Base

Localization Framework enables the translation of Knowledge Base \(KB\) articles when a KB article is requested for translation into a language and when a localization requested item \(LRITM\) is created.

## Localizing Knowledge Base

The extension of the Localization Framework capabilities to KB articles enables you to do the following tasks:

-   Select multiple languages from the available languages in the instance to configure settings with the knowledge base artifact. To configure localization settings, see [Localization Framework settings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/localization-framework/localization-settings.md).
-   Create LRITMs by requesting translations into one or more languages.
-   Translate the content of the KB articles directly using the request translations option.
-   Read, edit, and machine translate the content. You can also send the content to TMS or via email. You can export and import the content of the KB articles.

    **Note:** Activate the Dynamic Translation plugin \(com.glide.dynamic\_translation\) to use machine translation in Localization Framework.

-   Approve and publish the translated content.
-   Translate Knowledge Base articles in bulk in multiple languages.

For more information on translating the KB articles, see [Knowledge base article localization](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/translation-management.md).
