I usually approach this as similar to a localization problem. Define a
method that emits the correct text, and call it (maybe as a component,
maybe as a library - depends on how you do things) with a constant.
One approach would be something like:
use MyProject::Labels (qw :tags);
[...]
<% $tag->get(thing => 'Location Identifier', ads => $ads) %>
It also gives you at least a starting point if you ever have to go the
whole way with I18N. (Don't take my example naming scheme - I'm just
setting up examples, and those names suck.)
