Use the language selected on the OFF Edit Product page. If you use another language to enter fiels, precede it with a lanuage specifier. Thus on the french edit page we would enter en:Wheat Beer. | Each product that is entered into Open Food Facts has a set of fields.

This is the name used on the main label. Often this is the same as the brand, so an extra specification is needed. For instance for {{product|5410228158424}} the main name is Hoegaarden, but below is specified it concerns ''Wit - Blanche''.
