Hi Ghanshyam

 

This is very simple to do

1.if you have created Tabs in visualforce page then Please use custom label (Custom Label is a another meta Data Provided by Salesforce you can Create it by nevigating Setup-> Custom Label ) instead of using direct String. 

 

After using custom label you need to use Work bench ( another Meta Data provided in Salesforce ) you can create Work bench translation in custon label creation process or later by going on custom label. 

 

Please let me know in case of any further qeury.

 

Please give me KUDOS if my this approach help you and mark this as solution to make other people benefitial.

Thanks Sandeep.

 

I will try your solution and wil provide respose on this.

 

One more way i figured out is that i exported the .stf file fron Translation workbench and found my Custom Tabs as "WebTab.<tabName>  <TabLabel>". I replaced my Tab label with desired output message translation.

 

This did my job. If you found any drawback to this solution then reply me on this.

Hi Ghansyam, 

 

I got your approach. That is also nice approach. It would also be good to use Meta Data API in Salesforce. it will make our process more flexble. so here we geenrally use this approach.
