- Does the record have a Display Culture String set? If yes, retrieve the Local String value for that Culture String, based on the current User's Culture. The Base String will be the Display Name (displayName) value. In the rare case where Display Name is not set, the Name (name) value will be used as the Base String. If no, proceed to step 2.

- If there is no Display Name set, use the Name value (name).
