Using Custom Labels

Custom labels are custom text values that can be translated into any language that Salesforce supports. To access custom labels in Aura components, use the $Label global value provider.

Custom labels enable developers to create multilingual applications by automatically presenting information (for example, help text or error messages) in a user’s native language.

To create custom labels, from Setup, enter Custom Labels in the Quick Find box, then select Custom Labels.

Use the following syntax to access custom labels in Aura components.

• $Label.c.labelName for the default namespace
• $Label.namespace.labelName if your org has a namespace, or to access a label in a managed package

You can reference custom labels in component markup and in JavaScript code. Here are some examples.

{!$Label.c.labelName}

$A.get("$Label.namespace.labelName")
