Managing Culture through the API

Hi, Im trying kentico 4.1 and I would like to know if anyone know how to access to other tables than documents and users.
I need to access using the API to UICulture, ResourceString and ResourceTranslation.

Why?

Because I need to create an application to edit the translation (6 languages) uploading an excel.

Thanks for any help

RE:Managing Culture through the API

Hi,

you can get the resource string translation using:

ResHelper.GetString("code.name");

The code name is a name of resource string which you can find in the ~/CMSResources/abc.resx file.

More information about .resx files you can find here:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/5_5R2/devguide/configuring_multilingual_ui.htm

The current UICulture you can get using:

string UICode = CMSContext.CurrentUser.PreferredUICultureCode;

You said that you need to edit translation. Maybe you can try to use 6.0 version. There is translation functionality already implemented:
Language version comparison
