Something like a variable, e.g. ${<uid>.name} , which can be substituted based on the selected locale of the current user. Feel free to write a blueprint. You can load this from the API, which in 2.22 lets you use the "displayName" property of objects which are translated to the appropriate language. So something like this: https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataSets/BfMAe6Itzgt.json?fields=dataElements[id,displayName] will give you the translated name of all data elements in a data set. You could potentially load this once when data entry page is loaded from within a custom form, and then substitute labels yourself.
