    Multilingual UserControl

    Hi Guys,

    Can someone point out how to make a multilingual usercontrol in umbraco? i have created a simple usercontrol but now that i need to insert it in my template i just realised its displaying the text in english only on both website.

    How to i get to translate the Submit and Error Msg in another language depending on the culture i added?

    Here is part of my control

    <%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="enews.ascx.vb" Inherits="umbcontactform.enews" %>
    <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="enewsletter">
        <tr>
            <td><asp:TextBox CssClass="txtField" ID="txtemail" runat="server" Text=" " onclick="this.value=''"/> <br />
            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" ControlToValidate="txtemail" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Insert Mail First" runat="server"> </asp:RequiredFieldValidator> <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="Regularexpressionvalidator1" controltovalidate="txtemail" text="* Insert Invalid email" ValidationExpression="\S+@\S+\.\S{2,3}" runat="server" display="dynamic"> </asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
            </td>
        </tr>
                   <tr><td><asp:Label ID="lblmsg" runat="server"></asp:Label></td></tr>                         
        <tr>
            <td align="left">        
            <asp:LinkButton ID="lnknewsletter" OnClick="SaveNewsletter"  Text='Submit' runat="server"  CssClass="contourButton" ></asp:LinkButton></td>
        </tr>
                                            
                                           
        </table>

    Are you have a try with dictionary?

    I mean store the static text(such as submit) into dictionary, and set the button text depend on current language.

    won't work as this is a mix up of quotes and double quote chars, but you can still set the error message using codebehind in your usercontrol

    RequireFieldValidator2.ErrorMessage = umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("key");

     

    Cheers,,

    Hi,

    set the text or errormessage property in your codebehind file to: umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem(“mydictionaryitem”)

    Keep in mind that you need to reference umbraco.dll
