Localization

Localization

This question is answered

OK, I have the core site along with each Widget translated into French. Whew that took a while.

Now the way our site is going to function is we have a worldwide Community where we will have a mixture of languages across the breadth of our Community. I need to be able to localize things like Group Names, Group Descriptions, Forum Names, Forum Descriptions, etc... Before I dig too deep into this and reinvent the wheel I would like to know if there is a trick to doing this?

Thanks for any feedback!

  • Hi Chip,

    I tried to reply to this earlier but something strange happened. Anyway I don't know any way of using resource entries in the body of the Unfiltered HTML Widget. I would say you are best of creating a new widget in widget studio and adding the resources to the widget and outputting them in your custom widget like:

    $core_v2_language.GetResource("your_resource")

  • OK, I guess it is time to learn how to create a Widget. A shame that is not possible though. That would be a very powerful bit of functionality. Thanks Adam!
