Object names in multilanguage - dashboards/cards translation

Hello,
This issue has been open for 4 years, any update on it?

Objects Names in multilanguage - (Questions name, table columns)

opened 01:03AM - 04 Mar 19 UTC

Type:New Feature Customization/i18n

For each object name display an icon (line engine icon to configure details) to …open a window in order to register this content in several languages using the pair language code (ISO 639) and the content in the respective language. For example, creating a question to display the number of rows: when we type the name of this question we are able to do it in one single language. In order to be able to provide a better international user experience I miss the icon to click on it to register the question title in different languages providing the pair: language code (ISO 639) and question title. The example above can be used for table columns or any object we are able to provide a title or name and it's displayed to the end user. :arrow_down: Please click the :+1: reaction instead of leaving a `+1` or `update?` comment

Metabase doesn't provide the individual translation schema to dashboards/cards/notebooks.
Creating a separate folder, copying the dashboards and questions, and changing the titles are possible in this case, to meet the requirements that we need.

Note

In the end, I get 2 versions of the dashboard, which isn't ideal. The worst is when I need to change something on the dashboard, I have to make all the changes twice.

A great thing would be to be able to select the language of the dashboard or to have different editing versions stored in Metabase. Then I would select the right version directly in the settings of the embedding.
