Example

Suppose we have a Customers table with a field first_name.  Our fields.ini file will look something like this:

[first_name]
widget:label=First name
widget:description ="The customer's first name"

But for french users you want the label to say "Prénom" and the description to say "Le prénom du client".  So we add the following to our fr.ini file:

tables.Customers.fields.first_name.widget.label = "Prénom"
tables.Customers.fields.first_name.widget.description = "Le prénom du client"
