    Can I create language variations of a label for a DocumentType field?

    I have a project that will allow users from different cultures to use the Umbraco UI and so I need the labels (and descriptions) of fields within a DocumentType (e.g. Event or News Article) to appear in the relevant language.

    Is this possible? I know that I can change the language of the UI but obviously this will not affect the the field labels that I have created for my document types.

    The only way I can think of doing this is by creating a new set of datatypes which use a custom dictionary (or the Umbraco dictionary).

    Thanks.

    Hi Kieron,

    Yes, you can use a dictionary item for your Property Names,

    ie:  #BodyText

    I am not 100% sure if it works on the Descriptions or Tabs though, you'll have to test :)

    Note I think you'll also need to set each user's language in the User settings.

    Nice and quick! Many thanks for that Tom, I'll give that a go.

    Would still love to know about descriptions and tabs. Anyone?

    Should be similar, add '#' and make sure to translate the tabs. I'm not sure about descriptions to be honest.

    Yes, thanks for the answers guys. It works for field labels, descriptions and tabs in the same way.

    Much appreciated.
