# Translate Metaobjects with Translatable Capability

As of **2023-04** we're introducing a new capability to translate metaobjects.

Similar to the publishable capability, the translatable capability can be enabled when creating and updating a metaobject definition. When enabled all metaobjects belonging to the definition will be eligible for translations through the [Translations API](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/markets/translate-content) as well as the [Translate and Adapt](https://apps.shopify.com/translate-and-adapt) app.

Learn more about the Translatable Capability on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/custom-data/metaobjects/capabilities#make-your-metaobjects-translatable)
