    <summary type="html">You are right &lt;img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/smile.gif" &gt; With the field&amp;#39;s name is enough. The problem I was having actually was that the Language file I was modifying was only loaded by a certain module. The language file containing the field&amp;#39;s name should be one loaded by a module that uses the ResourceBundle service.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!</summary>

    <summary type="html">i dont think any special character is required , it only  uses LanguageUtil.get(request, name); for getting  the localized name , also  favourite_color  come as Favourite Color this is due to TextFormatter  which is used to display that</summary>

    <summary type="html">Hello Mohammed, thanks for the suggestion! But it didn&amp;#39;t work &lt;img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/sad.gif" &gt; Maybe it needs some special word before the favourite_color part in the key.</summary>

    <summary type="html">Hello all, if we create a custom field programatically (favourite_color), it is displayed as &amp;#34;Favourite Color&amp;#34; in Liferay, which is OK if we have English selected. But how we could localize the name in other languages? I suppose that I should use the Language_&amp;lt;language&amp;gt;.properties to set the translation that I want to show in each language, but what key should I specify?&lt;br /&gt;Thanks and regards &lt;img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/happy.gif" &gt;</summary>
