Hi,

I have an application that is prepared to change the language at runtime and it's working fine. Now, I'm implementing to show the DevForce error messages in different languages too. 

I did it changing ErrorsResourceManager:
entityManager.VerifierEngine.ErrorsResourceManager = MyErrorMessages.ResourceManager;

Now I have messages like that:
English - "Name is required"
Portuguese - "Name é obrigatório"

So, I also need to change the property display name, "Name" in this case need to be change to "Nome".

The perfect result would be:
English - "Name is required"
Portuguese - "Nome é obrigatório"

What is the best way to solve this case?

Regards.

Have you taken a look at http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/validate-localizing-error-messages?.

Hi Silvio,

Yes, I have. I implemented it and it's working. 

Now, I want to translate the name of the properties too. Just take a look in my example that I wish.

Customer
----------
ID
Name
Phone

As I did, appears:
en-US -> "Name is required"
"Phone is required"

pt-BR -> "Name é obrigatório"
"Phone é obrigatório"

Because Name and Phone are the names of my columns in DataBase, they will appear in the same form in any language.

For the user is strange to see this names in English, so I also want to translate them:
pt-BR -> "Nome é obrigatório"
"Telefone é obrigatório"

Thanks.

There are a couple of ways you can localize the Display Name. 
 
One is to modify the code generation process to generate Display attributes with resource information.  More info here - http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2063&title=displayattribute.
 
Another is to set the PropertyNameToDisplayNameTranslator on the VerifierEngine - http://drc.ideablade.com/ApiDocumentation/IdeaBlade.Validation~IdeaBlade.Validation.VerifierEngine~PropertyNameToDisplayNameTranslator.html.   We don't have an example of this, but the delegate you provide will be called whenever the property/display name is needed, and you can provide your own localization logic within the delegate.

Thanks Kim.

Hi cypher,

It's a very simple delegate:
public UnitOfWorkBase(IEntityManagerProvider entityManagerProvider, QueryStrategy strategy = null)
    : base(entityManagerProvider)
{
    ...
    entityManagerProvider.Manager.VerifierEngine.PropertyNameToDisplayNameTranslator += PropertyNameToDisplayNameTranslator;        
    ...
}
private string PropertyNameToDisplayNameTranslator(Type pType, String pPropertyName)
{
    return i18n.Localization.ErrorMessages.ResourceManager.GetString(pPropertyName);
}

i18n is my project that I have my localized strings.
