Display the Label of a custom post type

Hi, is there a way to display a label of a custom post type.

For example: Custom post type: movie Label: Movies

I would like to display the Lable on the singular-movie.php page. At the top of the page so that it would work like a kind of breadcrumb.

So is there a function to display it. Something like the_title()

Hi,

try: <?php post_type_archive_title(); ?>

also check this linkout: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_type_archive_title#Description

also might work:

< ?php $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type($post) );

echo $post_type->label ; ?>

Hi, Thanks. That works perfectly! Do you maybe know how to make it translatable. That's probably not so easy.

P.S. I cannot give you a best answer (no button for that). The reason could be that you've clicked Add comment, instead of Add answer ...
