Details and Options

This function uses the "Translations" property for the Entity that represents the Wolfram Langugage symbol.

The Entity for the symbol is taken using the WolframLanguageData function.

It is not possible to get a translation using the English language as the second argument because this is the original language of the symbol name.

For symbols that evaluate, Unevaluated and SymbolName may be used to retrieve translations. See "Scope" below.
