We are configuring Salesforce for a higly diverse and multicultural user base. It's great that we can translate the record type label but it's really annoying when the description shows in a different language.

I'm not sure how this isn't an option. Anything that is front end user facing should be able to be translated. We can provide a French record type label translation but not the description? How can one explan this to their client and have it still be acceptable?

Aside from the normal use case, we use descriptions in a Visualforce page that overrides New Case. It would be nice for users in other languages to be able to read the descriptions provided so they can properly choose a record type.

This is much needed! We have customers with 20 European affiliates in the same SFDC org: it is very furstrating not being able to translate those items.

If we can translate text fields like help bubble tooltips then we should be able to translate record type descriptions

If I say this is related to Chatter, will I get a faster response?

We really need this functionality. This seems like and oversight I would not expect from Salesforce.com.
