Currently the news and events content is mix with english and chinese, and recently client want to add chinese language to the site. Is that any way to use script to add chinese version of news/events? or anyway to let the chinese version to view news/events content from english version?

ps. I don't need to change any content or properties.

Hi Toh,

You can use the GetString() method and pass the desired culture. For example:

GetString("Content")["en"]

I believe the below sample code, which exemplifies the creation of an item, and modification of its different language versions, would be useful.

var contentTitle = "Test content " + DateTime.Now.ToString();

// create English version of the content

Guid itemID = Guid.Empty;

App.WorkWith().ContentItem().CreateNew()

.Do(cI =>

itemID = cI.Id;

cI.Title["en"] = contentTitle;

cI.GetString("Content")["en"] = "Original content (en)";

)

.Publish()

.SaveChanges();

// update English content

App.WorkWith().ContentItem(itemID)

.Do(i =>

i.GetString("Content")["en"] = "Update content (en)";

i.LastModified = DateTime.UtcNow;

)

.Publish()

.SaveChanges();

// add French translation

App.WorkWith().ContentItem(itemID)

.Do(c =>

//c.Content["fr"] = "Initial French content"; // this also doesn't work

c.GetString("Content")["fr"] = "Initial French content";

c.Title["fr"] = contentTitle + "-fr";

)

.Publish()

.SaveChanges();
