↔️ Translation Codes and Content Blocks

Content blocks are useful in mailings and portals to provide custom content based on either data Slate knows about the person accessing the email or portal or data about the record they are viewing. Translation codes are efficient tools allowing institutions to expand the datapoints being tracked per prompt beyond the standard export values. 

Fun fact: Translation Codes and Content Blocks are stored in the same SQL table, [lookup.translation]. Entries from both appear in the "Current Translation Code List" standard query (Database > Standard Query Library).

It's also possible to update (but not create) Content Blocks via the Translation Code Import source format.
