Remarks
This method can be overridden to support custom controls that needs translation support. It currently supports
- EPiServer.Core.ITranslateLocalizedText property
- System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButtonValue property
- System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableCellInnerText property
- System.Web.UI.WebControls.ButtonText property
- System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLinkText property
- System.Web.UI.WebControls.LabelText property
- System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButtonText property
The method currently dont support System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal since literal control inherits from control class directly not from webcontrol. This makes it not possible to manipulate attributes on Literal control. Instead use Resources or a Label control for translation.
For all controls that do not support the ITranslate interface, the translation mechanism uses the attribute "translate" to collect the translatable string. It will then set the indicated property of the control to the translated string.
TranslateWebControl(WebControl)
Translates System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl that has translate attribute. Supported controls are System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label, System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button , System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink and System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton
Declaration
protected void TranslateWebControl(WebControl webControl)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl | webControl | The web control. |
