Modifying content items for a specific language
I used the online example for creating and modifying content items (http://www.sitefinity.com/40/help/developers-guide/sitefinity-essentials-modules-generic-content-modifying-content-items.html), and they work well. I also want to create/modify a content item and then set a translation for that content.
For instance, I want to create a content block called "Instructions". I first create the content block in English and modify it using Fluent. I would also like to programmatically add a translation for "Instructions" for French (using Fluent or the Native API).
Is this possible? I've tried a few things (setting the culture), but I'm getting nowhere.
Hello David,
Localizable fields are of type LString in Sitefinity. This type allows you to easily set the values for all of your available cultures without the need to change the current culture. Quick sample bellow:
var definedFrontendLanguages = AppSettings.CurrentSettings.DefinedFrontendLanguages;Guid newsItemId= fluent.NewsItem().CreateNew().Do(c => foreach(CultureInfo language indefinedFrontendLanguages) //content is set as bellow c.GetString("Content")[language] = "something"; //set title, all LString type properties as set using this approach. This creates language versiosn for the provided culture c.Title[language] = "title"; ).Publish().SaveAndContinue().Get().Id;Thank you for being the most amazing .NET community!

That only partially works. Here's my test code:
var contentTitle = "Test content " + DateTime.Now.ToString();// create English version of the contentGuid itemID = Guid.Empty;App.WorkWith().ContentItem().CreateNew() .Do(cI => itemID = cI.Id; cI.Title = contentTitle; cI.Content = "Original content (en)"; ) .Publish() .SaveChanges();// update English contentApp.WorkWith().ContentItem(itemID) .CheckOut() .Do(i => i.Content = "Update content (en)"; i.LastModified = DateTime.UtcNow; ) .CheckIn() .SaveChanges();// add French translationApp.WorkWith().ContentItem(itemID) .CheckOut() .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"; ) .CheckIn() .SaveChanges();Hello David,
Try this:
var contentTitle = "Test content " + DateTime.Now.ToString();// create English version of the contentGuid 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 contentApp.WorkWith().ContentItem(itemID) .Do(i => i.GetString("Content")["en"] = "Update content (en)"; i.LastModified = DateTime.UtcNow; ) .Publish() .SaveChanges();// add French translationApp.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();Thank you for being the most amazing .NET community!
