# Translations

### Overview

The **Translation** button lets you load translatable TilliT entity data into Excel across one or more languages. This is useful for reviewing or editing translations for entities such as activity templates, materials, and other configurable items that support multi-language display names.

### Opening Translations

In the **TilliT V2** ribbon tab, click the **Translation** button.

### Loading Translations
