The knowledge base has its own Translation Management system. However, when this is disabled, knowledge base articles use translated_html fields for translated content.

When any of the internationalization (I18N) plugins are enabled, the Knowledge Management Internationalization plugin is enabled. This plugin allows knowledge article authors to create language-specific articles and to translate and access articles. For more information about Knowledge Management internationalization, see Translation Management in the Knowledge Management documentation.

If the Knowledge Management Internationalization plugin is disabled, knowledge base articles use translated_html fields for article content. This type of field displays the translation based on the language of the user, if multiple translations are stored. To learn about using translated_html fields, see Translating text fields.
