Changing the text on a label in different languages

Question

Not really that easy question here. :)

A customer has a field ownerid that is used as the lookup to a salesperson. I've changed the text of the label from Owner to Hazaa and I can see it take effect.

The problem is that Hazaa only displays in the English version (the base language of the installtion), while the language that is used for the users is Swedish. The users with Swedish language selected see the default translation, while they'd like to see Hazaa instead.

How can this be done?!

I could, perhaps, play around with exporting the language for translation, editing it and, then, importing back. However, that's a little, tiny, wimsy bit overkill for changing a single label. However, I suspect that only a few entities will require hazaa-fication of the ownerid field, while the rest is supposed to be left as is.

Answer 1

The supported way to translate the label is using the translation process (an example can be found here)

Maybe you can consider to create an unmanaged solution that contains only that entity, in order to export only the necessary labels.

There is also a tool recently released by Tanguy Touzard in his toolbox, I didn't use it yet, but you can find more information here:
