A method stores, uses and suggests terms in a business solution software program having multiple languages. Instead of only searching for a general use of a term based on its text and general use, one can search for a term based on a specific use in a module. Each term is assigned its own unique identifier in a term ID structure, which also contains information related to how the term is used in the system. The text for the term is stored in a separate term text structure. The term text structure contains the text of the label in all of the available languages. The specific use of the term is stored in a separate term area table including a description of the specific use of the term. When a new label is written the developer can search the current terms to find a term that matches the intended use.
