Providing for localization in language fields
In cases where you want the descriptions of languages to be available and display in a
local language (other than U.S. English), you can use the DerDescription property of the
LanguageIDs IDO. This derived property allows you to substitute translatable strings in place
of the system-default Descriptions.
When using this alternate property, keep these recommendations and guidelines in mind:
- Commonly, you would create a component class that incorporates the DerDescription property.
- You can then use that component class in conjunction with the component where you want the
translatable string to display. Note: In a case like this, you would want to make sure that the Interpret Bound Contents attribute (Special Attributes) is set to .
- Create translatable strings for each of the languages for which you want to display a translated value.
