Using LOCALE to change Labels

Post by Jaymer »

Imagine an app used by English/Imperial users, and Metric users.

A field on a form reads: Volume (oz.): ___________

And if we wanted to have this app automatically change all labels for Metric measurements, then isn't that what LOCALE would be for?

Volume (cc.): ____________


2) Another option is: Volume: ____________ (oz.). <-- as a tool tip

But I don't like tool tips all the time because in responsive mode (or a narrow mobile screen) it moves the tooltip to a new line all by itself.
Would LOCALE change tool tips also?

3) Another option is new Presentation Rules on a field. I can change the Label, so if I only need Imperial vs. Metric a few spots in my system, I could hardcode this into the Presentation Rules at the BO/field level and it would change this system-wide without needing LOCALE.
