You need to localize the server tier.

To do so :

• In Solution Explorer, expand the Data Sources node, and then open the entity.
• In the Entity Designer, choose a field to localize.
• In the Properties window, choose the Display Name property, and then enter $(PropertyName).
• Then add a resources file for default language (which always is English) , and then name it Service.resx.
• Add values to it regarding to your properties names (e.g. Name: PropertyName, Value: Name)
• Add another resource file with desired language (e.g. Service.ar-AR).
• Add values to your localized resource file.
