# Translating Categories

Translating categories is pretty simple and you'll be able to keep track of what's translated with labels when you've switched to a secondary language.

If you **haven't** translated a category's information yet you'll see a **Needs Translation** label appear beside the title. Once you've translated that category the label will disappear.
