Set Field Labels via API

[dragan]

I've posted a question in another forum thread, because I initially didn't want to create a new forum thread for this. Since there were no replies, I'm trying it here.

I'd like to set input field labels for each language via API. I have approx. 50 input fields and four languages. Doing it "manually", i.e. via GUI, would take ages, as you can imagine.

Is there an API method I can use? a) get/define field, b) set language-specific field label

To clarify: This is not meant to run inside a template, but just once, i.e.

// Bootstrap ProcessWire
include('./index.php');

// Assign API variables to make things a little easier
$fields = wire("fields");
$templates = wire("templates");

etc.

Sorry you didn't get any responses there, but time is limited

One way is set user language to the one you want to set the label. Or using the language id to append to "label{LID}"

$f = wire("fields")->get("mytextfield");
$lang = wire("languages")->get("de")->id;
$f->set("label{$lang}","Mein Textfeld");
$f->save();

I also replied to this in another thread this morning, not realizing Soma had already answered.
