Hi Pablo, normally it's not so important to insert the default-resource-name into view-entity because OFBiz automatically retrieve the translations from the field of the base tables. So for example if you have to use the view-entity UomAndType the translations coming from the fields of the table Uom and UomType are retrieved automatically. Otherwise in this case you have previously translate the base tables (Uom/UomType) and then the view-entities again. So translations on view-entity is necessary only for calculated fields and so probably it's very rarely that they will be description.
An example of use of the UseAndType view-entity translated automatically is visible on Product Price( AddProductPrice form in ProductForms.xml).
