Customizing the date labels
[[File:Relationships-category-view-50.png|right|450px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships Category view in Gramps version 5.0]]Prior to the Genealogical Symbols feature being implemented, birth and death data were explicitly labeled in English for the Active Person. This data was labeled with a simple abbreviation of label where more compact display was needed for the other relatives.

[[File:Relationships-category-view-51.png|right|450px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships Category view in Gramps version 5.1]]It was determined that these English labels did not encourage localization. An arbitrary set of symbols had been proposed that was deemed more universal than English terms and abbreviations.
