You want to show when a page is last modified? The label should, of course, work in multi-language environment. For MOSS, there is a great article about how to achieve this: Jamie McAllister. Building a multi-lingual ‘Last Modified’ Footer for MOSS. Here is a simple example for doing the same in SharePoint 2013:

<%@ Register
  TagPrefix='SharePointWebControls'
  Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls'
  Assembly='Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'
%>
<SharePointWebControls:EncodedLiteral
  runat='server'
  Text='<%$Resources:cms,pagesettings_modifieddate_label%>'
  EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode' />
:
<SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField
  runat="server"
  FieldName="Modified"
  ControlMode="Display" />

It fetches the localized value from cms.resx and puts it into your page as html.
