Subject: [PATCH] fix: respect standard object rename across all locales
 (Closes #18650) (#18652)

## Fix: Standard object rename ignored when UI language is not English
(Closes #18650)

### Problem
When a user renames a standard object (for example, changing **"People"
→ "Contacts"**), the custom name is only respected when the UI language
is set to **English**.

For any other locale, the resolver ignores the user-defined override and
falls back to the i18n translation of the original default label.

As a result, the custom name defined by the user is not displayed when
the UI language changes.

### Root Cause
`resolveObjectMetadataStandardOverride` only applied direct overrides
when the locale matched `SOURCE_LOCALE` (English):

```ts
if (
  safeLocale === SOURCE_LOCALE &&
  isNonEmptyString(objectMetadata.standardOverrides?.[labelKey])
) {
  return objectMetadata.standardOverrides[labelKey] ?? '';
}
