Create dynamic text labels

The dynamic text tab enables you to create text labels that allow users to switch languages in customized form layouts. Use the buttons at the top of the portlet to search for, add, or delete a dynamic text label. After you create a label, add it to the form layout where you want it to display. For instructions on creating a form layout, see Create custom forms.

The dynamic text label feature specifically applies to Civic Platform systems configured for Internationalization.
