# Label (/examples/widgets/label) Label bind text [#label-bind-text] Bind a label to a string subject; buttons rewrite the subject on click. `subject_text` is a string subject from `examples/xml_project/globals.xml`. The label uses `bind_text` to listen for changes. Each button carries a `` child that, on click, writes a fixed value into `subject_text` — and the label re-renders automatically. Label long modes [#label-long-modes] Show every long_mode behavior side by side. Five labels share the same width but use different long\_mode values: wrap, dots, scroll, scroll\_circular, and clip. Each label is colored differently and contains text that does not fit on a single line, so the mode-specific behavior is immediately visible. Label text recolor [#label-text-recolor] Recolor individual words via inline color tags. With recolor="true", segments wrapped as "#RRGGBB ... #" render in the given color. This lets a single label mix multiple colors in one string without splitting it into separate label widgets. Label set text with newlines [#label-set-text-with-newlines] Insert explicit line breaks into a label's text. In XML attributes the entity produces a newline; using two of them in a row leaves a blank line between paragraphs. The second label demonstrates that the text attribute also accepts plain text with no escaping for normal characters. Label styling [#label-styling] Decorate labels with background, padding, border, outline, and shadow. A label is just text, but it inherits the full background/border/outline/shadow stack from the base widget. The named "badge" style turns a label into a pill via radius + padding + bg color; the second label demonstrates the same effect built purely from local `style_*` attributes for a one-off look. Label text alignment [#label-text-alignment] Align multi-line text inside a fixed-width label. Three labels of equal width hold the same two-line text but use different style\_text\_align values: left, center, and right. Alignment only changes anything when the label is wider than its text or contains line breaks, so each label is given an explicit width that exceeds the longest line. Label with translation tag [#label-with-translation-tag] Bind a label to a translation tag so its text follows the active language. `lv_label_set_translation_tag` ties the label to a key in the translation table. After `lv_translation_set_language` is called with a new language code, every label bound to a tag re-renders with the translated string. Translations themselves are registered in a CSV (or XML) through `lv_translation_add_static`/`lv_translation_load`.
