I can see that you are thinking about the whole metadata model - nice.
All we seek to get back is the label on the current user locale, and we
only need Categories, Data Elements and Data Set Sections labels at this
stage.

Also, when you are in a custom form - how can you know what language is the
current user set to?
I imagine needing to add some extra text, which will need multiple
translations. We can embed such text on the HTML of the page, as long as we
know what's the current language, and then display accordingly.
