# GETLOCALELABEL

You can configure translations in Inforiver based on the language settings in Power BI. If your report has a global audience, you can configure calculated rows/columns or column groups to display dimension categories based on pre-defined translations when the language is switched.

## Syntax

```javascript
GETLOCALELABEL('Label')
```

## Arguments

Label – The Key configured in Localization settings. Required.

## Return value

Value corresponding to the Key as defined in Localization Settings.

## Example

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to convert product names and custom groups with the GETLOCALELABEL function.

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Writeback Matrix:** Navigate to Settings > Global Settings> Localization Settings to create translation entries.
*  **Reporting Matrix:** Navigate to Display Settings > General > Localization Settings to create translation entries.
* The screenshots shown in this section are from WB Matrix, but the functionality is the same.
  {% endhint %}

Use the GETLOCALELABEL function in the Title field and pass the Key specified in the translation config.

Similarly, when you create custom groups, use the GETLOCALELABEL function. [Learn more about creating column groups](https://docs.inforiver.com/formula-syntax/measure-column-selection-functions/pages/YLohLmBggoc1bG4qjYE5#id-1.-group-columns).&#x20;

Notice how the row categories and column groups are implicitly changed to French and German.
