Is it possible to get the translations of objects through the API? For example, we have different subscription types in the settings, and they have a translation in German:

However, when using:  
_GET [https://api.hubapi.com/communication-preferences/v3/definitions?hapikey=KEY](https://api.hubapi.com/communication-preferences/v3/definitions?hapikey=KEY)_  
only english labels are returned and I have not found a way to get them in German.

_{ “subscriptionDefinitions”: [{ “id”: “11113237”, “name”: “General Marketing News”, “description”: “Marketing offers and updates.”, “purpose”: “Marketing”, “communicationMethod”: “Email”, “isActive”: true, “isDefault”: true, “isInternal”: false, “createdAt”: “2020-12-04T07:44:05.969Z”, “updatedAt”: “2021-06-15T22:01:09.635Z” }, …] }_

Hi @PKretek,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

To confirm, you would like to fetch the translated German expressions for objects, settings, subscriptions from the CRM via the API? Do you mind sharing what steps you’ve taken so far to ensure we don’t suggest what you’ve already done?

Additionally, I wanted to tag the HubSpot API guru @Willson to see if he has any insights. Matt, do you have any thoughts for @PKretek?

Thanks!

Mia

Hey @MiaSrebrnjak , @PKretek ,

I’m not 100% sure on the availability of translations via this API but let me do some testing and i’ll revert back once I know more.

Thanks

Hey @PKretek ,

After doing some testing and conferring with our team who owns this API, I can confirm that it does not currently support the fetching of translations at the moment. Only the definition can be fetched at this time.

Thanks

Hi @Willson,

Is it now possible to fetch them?

Kind Regards,
