Umbraco 8 Dashboard Language files, programmatically

I have created a test dashboard, just to try it out, it appears but the language files does not seem to work, since the tab just says [alias-name]

I'm creating the dashboard programmatically with a cs file, and adding the language files etc. on the side. But it does not appear to work.

My CS file:

[Weight(-10)]
    public class TestDashboard : IDashboard
    {
        public string[] Sections => new[] { "content" };

        public IAccessRule[] AccessRules => Array.Empty<IAccessRule>();

        public string Alias => "TestCustomDashboard";

        public string View => "/Business/Dashboards/Test/View/test.html";
    }

Lang File Danish

<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<language alias="da" intName="Danish" localName="Dasnk" lcid="6" culture="da-DK">
  <area alias="sections">
    <key alias="TestCustomDashboard">Test mit specielle dashboard</key>
  </area>
</language>

Lang File English

<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<language alias="en" intName="English (US)" localName="English (US)" lcid="" culture="en-US">
  <area alias="sections">
    <key alias="TestCustomDashboard">Test Custom Dashboard</key>
  </area>
</language>

My View

<umb-box>
    <umb-box-content>
        <h3>Test Dashboard</h3>
        <p>Dette er en test for at se om jeg kan lave et dashboard.</p>
    </umb-box-content>
</umb-box>

The file structure:

I have read the documentation and viewed a briding course video on Umbraco.tv but have been unable to find the answers.

Hi,

To localize a string use "localize" tag, like this:
```
<p><localize key="TestCustomDashboard">Default value</localize></p>
```
Thanks,

Alex

In the bridging course video on Umbraco.tv it said i had to have lang files for the name on the tab.

Right now it just shows the alias.

Your language file is trying to set the alias for a section instead of a dashboard.

Try this instead:
```
<area alias="dashboardTabs">
     <key alias="TestCustomDashboard">Test Custom Dashboard</key>
</area>
```
