Translations

Litium uses resource files for texts and translations in the administration UI. To use your own files in a project, you need to create them and place them in the /Site/Resources/[Module] folder. If this folder doesn't already exist, it has to be created. If there are multiple resource files in the folder with the same key, the file last read will be used.

The directory name for the translation of the administration UI is Administration.

When you work with resource files, the naming is important. The format is Name[.culture].resx, where the name is whatever you prefer, but probably something that relates to your add on. culture is the culture code for the language the translation is specified for. Or, if it is skipped, it is the defaut/fallback language. 

• Accelerator.resx is the default fallback values. This file probably contains the English translation.
• Accelerator.sv-se.resx is the Swedish translation. If the file does not contain any value, the fallback file is used.

Using resource files in your add ons makes the installation easier, since no XML files need to be imported into back office. Make sure to use unique names for your strings, for example SpecialWidgetName if you are building a special widget for the dashboard.
