Localization in user controls

Hello,

My website is multilingual. To display my specific content, I used user controls. In these user controls, I have some labels that need to be translated. How can I achieve this? Can I use asp.net resources file or does Sitefinity provide a way to do this?

Thanks

Jocelyn

Hello,

Can someone bring me an answer?

Hello jocelyn,

You can use ASP.NET Local resources. You can create a custom resource class. You can take a look at this post.For properties,if you want to have them in multilingual mode you have to mark the property with  MultilingualProperty attribute (Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages.PropertyPersisters.MultilingualPropertyAttribute).
Note that this should be a string property.

You can use Administration >> Interfaces and Labels to add a new key which you can access in your control as shown below


 var res = Res.Get("Labels", "MyKey");

We recommend creating a separate classes for your custom keys and not mix them with the default one. Thus, you can separate the built-in and custom logic easily and this will ensure that there would not be a problem if you import or export a language pack.

Hello,

I create my resources class and register it.

When i go to "Administration" > "Interface and labels", I see my Resources class but when I click it to filter the labels, I still see all labels. My resources class name in "Filter by type" side bar appears in grey.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Ivan,

When this bug will be treated? However, I think this bug does not block us to use the back end to translate my labels of my custom resources class. Is is true?

Hi Julien,

This bug is scheduled for fixing for the Q1 release in the begining of April.
It doesn't block you to use the back end to translate your labels of your custom resources class.
