  • Source: The 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.
