Custom labels are custom text values that can be accessed from Apex classes or Visualforce pages. The value of Custom label can be static or dynamic from visulaforce page and apex class. The values can be translated into any language Salesforce supports. Custom labels enable developers to create multilingual applications by automatically presenting information (for example, help text or error messages) in a user’s native language.
In this article I’ll demonstrate how to use custom labels in visualforce page and apex classes.

Note: We can create up to 5,000 custom labels for your organization, and they can be up to 1,000 characters in length.

Step 4:
Now I’ll create a visualforce page and use the custom label in it.

<apex:page tabstyle="Account">
   <apex:form>
     <apex:pageblock>
       <apex:outputtext value="Custom lable value is : ">
       <apex:outputtext style="font-weight: bold;" value="{!$Label.DemoCustomLabel}">
     </apex:outputtext></apex:outputtext></apex:pageblock>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>
