How to clone Custom Labels along with its translations in multiple languages in same org (or from any external source org) in few clicks?

 Let's ask few questions to ourself about Salesforce Standard FieldSets:

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

Answer is BIG NO. Salesforce standard Custom Labels doesn't provide these bulk features. In case, if an admin has to perform these actions, then admin would have to open each and every Custom Label one by one and perform the required action. Also, user will need to open each translation value, choose language and do the manual action.

These type of work requests would take much more effort and time, but with our Salesforce Appexchange application Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC), admin can clone multiple Custom Labels of same org (or from any external salesforce org) in few clicks.

Benefits of using BOFC Application to Clone Labels with their translations:
  1. User can clone single or multiple custom labels in few clicks
  2. User can also Clone Labels with their translations defined in multiple languages
  3. BOFC provide the user to choose whether they need to override any existing (or create) new Custom Labels
  4. User can clone Custom Labels from Same or External (non-linked) salesforce org
  5. Simple Point & Click UI only.

Let's take a scenario:

We need to clone this below custom label which has two translation values in different languages. The default language of this translation is "English". Also, this custom label has the values defined in two other languages eg: Dutch, English.



Few simple steps to clone multiple Custom Labels along with its translations in few clicks

1. Open the BOFC Home > Click "Clone Custom Labels"


2. It will open below screen to Clone Custom Labels. Select the type of operation as "Clone" option in radio button.

3. Select the source org from which Custom Labels needs to be cloned. In case source org is not available in drop down, kindly click on "Manage Org Details" to add new source org. 

Once source org is selected, it will display the list of Custom Labels.


4. Select the single or multiple Custom Labels. Once ready, click on "Click here to continue" button to initiate the process


5. Once the "Click here to continue" buttons is clicked, it will open a popup with some fields to fill. Once the information is filled, click on "Click here to clone" button.


and here is the result:



Here is the new custom label cloned with the keyword "demo" added in the name of the custom label:
