# Add preference translation in preferences library

{% hint style="success" %}
**Access Type:** Configuration Tree - Editor

**Premium Feature**: Preference Management Platform
{% endhint %}

The  name and description for a preference can be surfaced in your preferences widget in a variety of languages supported by Didomi. These translations can be surfaced dynamically based on the end-user's browser setting or enforced for all end-users. In this article, we will cover how to add a translation to a preference via the preferences library.

{% hint style="info" %}
Any translation edits performed from the preferences widget will not impact the translations stored for the preference in the preference library. [Click here](/preference-management-platform-pmp/preferences-widgets/manage-preferences-widget-translations.md) for more information on creating and editing preference translations from the preferences widget.
{% endhint %}

Click **Preferences** on the left-hand panel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.didomi.io/preference-management-platform-pmp/preferences-library/add-preference-translation-in-preferences-library.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
