Hi Francesca,

Thanks for your reply, but how to get the "LBL_THE_LABEL" in a var this way? I don't know the name of the label.

You can use app_strings without having to load the whole bean:

global $app_strings;
$label = isset($app_strings['LBL_THE_LABEL']) ? $app_strings['LBL_THE_LABEL'] : "default_label";

Ok, I figured it out by searching the sugar core php files.

$emptyBean = BeanFactory::newBean($module);
$labelKey = $emptyBean->field_defs[$fieldName]['vname'];
$label = translate($labelKey, $module);

Hope some one else finds it useful.
