    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.

    enter image description here

    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>

    See: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Extending/Dashboards/
