Field labels
Global Sourcebook | Index | Properties
The table below shows data entry form input labels in some European languages. Note that some data is not requested in the country concerned, so the label may not exist or it needs translating directly.
Field labels vary linguistically, but also by postal and local norms. A label used in one area or country may not be used in another area or country where the same language is spoken. It is advisable to have field labels check by native speakers from the area/country concerned, where possible.
Where there are no standard text forms, I have used descriptive labels (e.g. Suffixe (par example: A, bis, ter) / Appartement) which will ensure that the correct data is collected, but which may be altered.
- Labels in green indicate strings that have a strong degree of certainty of being used and being correct in that language.
- Labels in orange are strings about which there is a doubt as to whether it is the correct string, either because the requested information is normally not requested for the countries where the language is spoken; or because it is a direct translation and not necessarily colloquially correct.
- Labels in red are those about which I have serious doubts and which need to be checked and/or tested.
* indicates fields for data not used in addresses in the country concerned.
