You can have two Seam components (thus two entity homes in your case) by using @Role annotation.
Better solution I think is to have different DB structure :

Menu:

• id


• code


• (@OneToMany @JoinTable(name="MENU_LABELS")) List<Label> labels

Label:

• labelId


• languageCode


• value

With this, you need only one entity home.

There are several options.

1. In Menu entity constructor you can populate labels attribute :

public Menu() {
    labels = new ArrayList<Label>(2);
    labels.add(new Label("en"));
    labels.add(new Label("cn"));
}

2. Better solution in my opinion is to call custom method on MenuHome just before you start creating Menu, i.e. I do this from s:link :

public void startCreateProcess() {
    getInstance().labels = new ArrayList<Label>(2);
    instance.labels.add(new Label("en"));
    instance.labels.add(new Label("cn"));
}

<s:link value="Create" view="/menu.xhtml" action="#{menuHome.startCreateProcess}"/>
