    Parameters:
    
    _enity - the entity for which this attribute is built. Uses the entity schema and sets a reference for later use.
    
    template - the template from which this CBOAttribute should be created. The template supports a subset of the XML nodes and attributes the CBOAttribute supports, so we can use this as a basis.

    Returns:
    
    The localized singular String of this AttributeI.
  - getL10nNameKey
```
public java.lang.String getL10nNameKey()
```
    Description copied from interface: AttributeI
    Returns the localization name key for this AttributeI. The key determines which localized string is retrieved for the attribute's name, varying based on its relation type and read-only status.
    - If the attribute is not a "many-relation" (i.e., it's a single-valued attribute), this method returns the attribute's primary name key.
    - If the attribute is a "many-relation":
      
      And it is read-only, this method returns the attribute's primary name key, as there is only the plural, which is the name of the attribute.
      
      And it is not read-only, it returns the singular form of the attribute's localized name, appended with AttributeI.SUFFIX_L10N_PLURAL_KEY (typically "-s"), to represent a plural or collection name key.
    Specified by:
    
    getL10nNameKey in interface AttributeI
    
    Returns:
    
    The appropriate localization name key (String) for this AttributeI, adapted based on its many-relation and read-only properties.
  - getL10nNameVar
```
public java.lang.String getL10nNameVar()
```
    Description copied from interface: AttributeI
    
    Returns a localizable String variable reference for the name of this AttributeI.
    This method constructs a string that serves as a reference to a localized resource. The format is typically `$R{'KEY'}`, where 'KEY' is determined by AttributeI.getL10nNameKey(). This allows the UI or report generation to fetch the appropriate localized name dynamically.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getL10nNameVar in interface AttributeI
    
    Returns:
    
    The localizable String variable reference for the name of this AttributeI (e.g. "$R{Position}").

```
    Description copied from interface: AttributeI
    
    Returns the localized name of this AttributeI.
    This method retrieves the appropriate localized string for the attribute's name by using its determined localization name key (from AttributeI.getL10nNameKey()). It delegates to the L10n.msg(String, Object[], Object[], boolean) method to perform the actual localization lookup. If no translation is found, the original name key is returned as a fallback.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getL10nName in interface AttributeI
    
    Returns:
    
    The localized name of this AttributeI as a String.

public java.lang.String getL10nEntityName()
```
    Description copied from interface: AttributeI
    
    Returns the localized name of the entity to which this attribute belongs.
    This method typically retrieves the localized name by first obtaining the associated entity (via an internal mechanism of the attribute) and then calling that entity's getL10nName() method. It makes sure the attribute is properly linked to an entity before trying to retrieve its name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getL10nEntityName in interface AttributeI
    
    Returns:
    
    The localized name (String) of the owning entity.
