# batchTranslationsWorkflow - Medusa Core Workflows Reference

This documentation provides a reference to the `batchTranslationsWorkflow`. It belongs to the `@medusajs/medusa/core-flows` package.

This workflow creates, updates, and deletes translations. It's used by the
[Manage Translations Admin API Route](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/admin/translations/manage-translations).

You can use this workflow within your own customizations or custom workflows, allowing you
to create, update, and delete translations in your custom flows.
