    GetDictionaryValue by passing in Culture

    Hi

    I have a bilingual site with lots of Dictionary items that Umbraco nicely takes care of using Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("MyValueName")

    However, I have a piece of content that's only available in one language (English) and therefore it only lives in the English content tree.

    Problem is, in my view, I still want to call Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue() but as my currentpage will always be English, I only get the English value returned.

    I suppose my question is, can I force the culture when I make the call? Something like Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("MyValueName", myLang)

    Hi David

    You can set current request culture with this code:

    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("needed culture");

    And After that, GetDictionaryValue will return that value.

    Thanks,

    Alex
