For example, you can store the name of an account in the default language in your Salesforce org and the account’s or user’s language. The following fields can have corresponding local names:

 
| Standard Field | Local Name Field |
| --- | --- |
| Account Name | Account Name (Local) |
| Contact: First Name | Contact: First Name (Local) |
| Contact: Middle Name | Contact: Middle Name (Local) |
| Contact: Last Name | Contact: Last Name (Local) |
| Lead: Company | Lead: Company Name (Local) |
| Lead: First Name | Lead: First Name (Local) |
| Lead: Middle Name | Lead: Middle Name (Local) |
| Lead: Last Name | Lead: Last Name (Local) |

Local names do not affect the user’s language settings. Depending on your page layout settings, they can both be displayed on the detail or edit page.

Note When viewed from a report, empty local name fields display different values depending on whether the report is standard or custom. If the local name field is empty:

- Standard reports display the value from the standard name field. So if First Name (Local) is empty, the value for First Name is displayed.
- Custom reports display an empty value. So if First Name (Local) is empty, the field is displayed empty.
