Labels hold short interface copy such as headings, buttons, navigation items, placeholders, alt text, and SEO strings. Your code declares a stable key. The editable value lives in Fimo. Use content schemas for articles, products, and other structured content. Use labels for copy that belongs to the interface.

​
Add a label

1

Declare the key

Ask your coding agent to load the fimo-code labels and framework references, then add a literal key such as hero.title with the framework’s supported label API.
2

Find missing values

bash fimo validate
3

Set the value

bash fimo labels set hero.title --value "Build your next site"
Label keys must be string literals. A key assembled at runtime cannot be tracked or validated.

​
Translate labels

Omit --locale to let the selected Branch write its configured default language. Pass a locale for another language:
Add the language to the project before writing its values. See Locales. Fimo resolves an omitted locale from the selected Branch, not from the checkout’s local config. Editors can update the same values in Content → Labels and Text in Studio. For list, bulk update, delete, and validation commands, see the CLI reference.
