If you have a code WHS123 that is a 'local distribution warehouse', it may have many translations into local languages, but is is entirely objective. You would not want one application to reference this as a 'regional manufacturing warehouse' and another calling is 'building xyz' because that is what they think it should be called. If both of those are also accurate descriptions of WHS123 that are synonymous to the actual meaning, they too can be stored in the database.
