    How to get the name or alias of a dictionary item using the localization service

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 8

    I am working in Umbraco v8. I'm using the localization service.

    I can get a dictionary item by id, and I can get the value of the item by the language id.

    var dictionaryItem = _localizationService.GetDictionaryItemById(apiInstruction.NodeId);

var defaultTranslationValue = dictionaryItem.Translations.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == defaultLanguage.Value);

    When there is no translation for the default language, I want to fall back to using the name of the dictionary item.

    So my question to you is, how do I access the name or alias of the dictionary item?

    image to show the where the name is in the dictionary item

    Thanks

    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    that should be the dictionaryItem.ItemKey value
