## Updating localized labels overview

When you create a new model-driven app form and add columns to the form, the form creates a copy of the localized labels for those columns in the base language. Once a form is created, changing the localized label text for a column in the base language won't update the localized label on the form. However, you can change the column, tab, and section labels that can be localized for a form using the form designer. More information: [Configure column properties on a form](../model-driven-apps/add-move-or-delete-fields-on-form.md#configure-column-properties-on-a-form)

1. Once you find the tab, section, or column, check if there's `labelid` property defined. If yes, then the value of `labelid` attribute is the object ID for the localized label. If not, then the value of the ID attribute is the object ID for localized label.
