Let’s ask ourselves a simple question when working with Salesforce Standard Custom Labels:

Can we clone multiple Custom Labels with their translations (from the same or external Salesforce org) in a single click?

❌ The Answer Is: A BIG NO!

Out of the box, Salesforce does not offer bulk operations for Custom Labels — especially when it comes to handling translations.
If an admin needs to clone or modify custom labels, they must:

• Manually open each individual Custom Label

• Perform updates one at a time

• Open each translation value, choose the language, and make manual changes

This process is slow, repetitive, and error-prone, particularly for orgs supporting multiple languages or managing large sets of labels.

• The same Salesforce org

• Or an external (non-linked) Salesforce org

And the best part? It takes just a few clicks.

• Label Name: Welcome_Message

• Default Language: English

• Translations Available:
