Dictionary - select SPECIFIC language

Hi

This may sound as a bit of a strange request. But it is possible to directly select a specific language in the dictionary, overriding any top-level definitions?

Something like @Dictionary.Home.English or @Dictionary["Home"].English

It is for bulk emails - I use Umbraco to render the html. The user have a list of recipients and sets language for each list. But when the html renders, it always use the user-setting...

Hi Jesper,

You can just make use of @umbraco.library.GetDictionayItem("Home") after setting the language type.

Or if am not mistaken you can also try using
```
@using System.Globalization;
@{

Domain[] domains = umbraco.library.GetCurrentDomains(@Model.Id);
 var currentLanguage = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName.ToLower();
```
if (currentLanguage.Contains(en)) {
@:Some text
}
```
}  
```
Not sure what you aare looking to achive but hope this helps

Hi again

Yes, I ended up doing something similar:
```
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture ("en-US");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture=new CultureInfo("en-US");
```
After this I could just use the dictionary as usual, although my overall culture-setting is different.

Great but perhaps you can also remove US from the Culture Info and make use of only 2 characters instead
```
TwoLetterISOLanguageName.ToLower();
```
