Use this page to check whether the Salesforce Metadata you want to translate is supported, and which part of SimpleTranslate to use for it. Find your metadata type in the table and read across to see where it is available.
Most types can be translated either by connecting SimpleTranslate to your org or by working with an exported file. A few are only available one way, so it is worth checking here before you plan a translation project.
