Second Site has a tag label translation feature which is used to modify the tag labels stored in the TMG project before they are used on an output page. The facility was initially intoduced because old versions of TMG do not support non-English labels for some standard tag types. The feature was also useful because some tag labels are not optimal for web page output. For example, people browsing a site should see "Father" rather than "Father-Bio".

Tag label translation is controlled by INI files. The INI files are stored in the Defaults folder . The INI filenames vary by language, so "english.ini" is used when Language.Site Language is set to English, "dutch.ini" is used when Language.Site Language is set to Dutch, etc.

Entries in the file take the form:

   label= newlabel

For example, from dutch.ini:

   Father-Bio=  Vader

Second Site includes pre-built tag label translation files and so most users do not have to create or modify them.
