Edit: wrong, see below

@Dave Bieleveld Starcode Could it be that you are looking for a translation of your table variant?

@Mark Jongeling @Remco Duijsens 

Yeah, I was looking to translate different detail tabs under the same table, not necessarily a variant. It used to be translated by translating the reference add, if I remember correctly. That's what I thought the translation object type still exists for.

Ah, you mean this option : 

I stand corrected, I overlooked this setting. This indeed can let you translate the Reference addition.

Not sure what the reason is that we don’t show the checkbox there, but maybe becuase we separate Datamodel from User interface aspects.
