[OFBiz] Dev - Question on i18n of Entity labels

[Jacques Le Roux]

Thanks Peter for this explanation, I must admit that I was not clear. I was
asking myself if it will not be easier to maintain localized data at a root
level in the futur. I was not thinking about demo datas but core datas. I
have no solution to propose, it was just an inner question (intuitive), with
a little argument for others thought... I feel that there is something there
but I can't argue more for the moment, perhaps I'm wrong ;o)
