Problem with translations of product Fields.
I get problems when trying to localize a site that has Swedish, not English, as default culture. Version 6.0.13, Installation Corporate Site sample Site. Add Swedish culture, change default culture with translate all documents checked == true;
Given that (Ah = AmpereTimmar = AmpereHours)
I create a new documenttype and new Attribute Column name: AH Field caption: AmpereTimmar -> Clicking the Localize Filed -> Create new Resource String custom.AmpereTimmar -> Clicking Localize field again and get a dialog with one language availible English (Default). My default culture is Swedish. Any way, I continue....
When I "translate" my string, this will update the Field Caption to the new value, overwriting the Swedish string with the translated English text.
Also...if I try to generate a default transformation I will get the expression {$custom.AmpereTimmar$}. This will not get evaluated. I suspect for the simple reason that there is no (and should not exist) Swedish translation.
I assume that this will work if I have English as the default language and translate to Swedish, but that is not how I would like to work. My users expect to write in swedish. Translation to other languages will be done in a later stage. I am just testing this now to be thorough and plan ahead.
How do we solve this problem?
