Hi Adriano

If you have added add key in language files under buttons, e.g.

<area alias="buttons">
    <key alias="myButton">Button</key>
    ...
</area>

then in your view you should refer to it this way:

<localize key="buttons_myButton">Button</localize>

Also be aware of the casing.

But for your own stuff and packages, it might be better to add your own unique area to ensure it doesn't conflict with any other core language keys.

The reason why it returns [general_Button] is that it didn't find a key "Button" in area "general" - when you don't specify an area it will by default lookup in the area "general".

Sorry, another one thing.

When I create my custom area and key into /Umbraco/Config/Lang/en.xml file, it function properly.

Now I want to create my custom Lang folder and I put inside my custom en.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<language alias="en" intName="English (UK)" localName="English (UK)" lcid="" culture="en-GB">
    <creator>
        <name>ADRIANO</name>
        <link></link>
    </creator>
    <area alias="sections">
        <key alias="ADRIANO">ADRIANO</key>
    </area>
    <area alias="ADRIANO">
        <key alias="Button">Button</key>
    </area>
</language>

I put my custom Lang folder into my Package folder.

App_Plugin
    |=>ADRIANO
        |=>backoffice
            |=>test

I tried to put the "Lang" folder in

App_Plugin/ADRIANO

and also in

App_Plugin/ADRIANO/backoffice/test/

but It don't function. Always the text of my button is

[ADRIANO_Button]

What's wrong?

If you use Umbraco 7.3.x+ you don't need to edit language keys in core language files in /umbraco/config/lang/..
Just add a language folder "lang" to your folder in AppPlugins.. And I think it must be located at root level in your plugin folder, so in "/AppPlugins/ADRIANO/"

Furthermore you should ensure that language files in this folder (in /App_Plugins/ADRIANO/lang/) is named like da-DK.xml, en-GB.xml and en-US.xml

I'm using Umbraco version 7.4.1 assembly: 1.0.5891.23238

I have read that link and I put the Lang folder (with my custom en-us.xml file) in

App_Plugin/ADRIANO

but the text of my button is always

[ADRIANO_Button]

I don't understand if I must declare it or include a directive to tell Umbraco that there is a custom language files or Umbraco should find automatically my custom language file and use it

The content of my en-us.xml file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<language alias="en_us" intName="English (US)" localName="English (US)" lcid="" culture="en-US">
    <creator>
        <name>ADRIANO.</name>
        <link>http://mydomain.com</link>;
    </creator>
    <area alias="ADRIANO">
        <key alias="Button">Delete selected user(s)</key>
    </area>
</language>

In my edit.html file I wrote

<button type="button" id="btnDeleteUsers" name="btnDeleteUsers" ng-click="save(settings)" data-hotkey="ctrl+s" class="btn btn-primary">
    <localize key="ADRIANO_Button">Default Text</localize>
</button>

But the text of my button is always

[ADRIANO_Button]

:-(

OK...thanks Bjarne, I found the problem.

The name of my custom file must be the culture name

en-US.xml or it-IT.xml or en-GB.xml).

I called the files like the umbraco language file

en_us.xml or it.xml or en.xml

Now...it works perfectly :-)

Thank you to all for support.

Bye

is working on a reply...
