Localizing object text
Object text is the descriptive label name that displays in the application for object types, object fields, filters, and enumerated values. You can translate and modify object text for a specific locale.
For a list of supported locales, see the topic, Localizing text.
You can modify the following object text for a locale:
- The singular and plural labels that display the name of an object type, such as
Risk
andRisks
for the Risk object type, wherever that object type appears in the application. For more information, Modifying object text. - A singular label that displays:
- The name of an object field in an object view. For example, if you
had an object field called
Impact
that displayed the label textImpact
, you could change the label text to displaySeverity of impact
instead. - The values of an enumerated field.
- The name of an object field in an object view. For example, if you

- Only plain text should be entered as object text in labels. Light formatting is supported for field guidance text strings. HTML and line breaks are not supported.
- Object text has a 4000 character maximum per label.
Object text is grouped primarily by object type with an additional group for unassigned field groups.
For example, the SOXControl group
contains the label text for the Control object and its related field
groups.
The Unassigned Field Groups group
contains the label text for field groups that are either not assigned
to an object type or are commonly used by all object types, such as
System Fields, Currency Attributes, Publishing, and so forth.
