Hi Sarathlal. I don't sure, but if I understood you correct you asked about webpart localization. If Am I right, you must do next steps: 1. Go to "Site Manager - Development - UI Cultures - All Cultures"; 2. Press "Pencil" icon on any culture that not assigned by default; 3. Press "New string" button at the next step 4. If you did all correct before you can see fields with names: "Key", "Text" for every culture and "default text" for culture assigned by default; 5. Fill all of this fields; 6. Copy "Key" data before save; 7. Press Save; 8. Got to "CMS Desk - Content - Design" and open webpart, that you like to localize; 9. In "web part title" field past copied in step 6 "key" field data between {$$}. For example, if your key has name RestarauntKey, you must enter {$RestarauntKey$} 10. Press "ok".

Now, if you try to switch between cultures in Kentico CMS, web part must to switch title according selected culture. This method works in Kentico 6 and Kentico 7. I tested it while write this short help. I didn't tested it on Kentico 8. But, it should works I hope.

If you want localize Web part container title (not web part title), you must do next: 1. Go to "Site Manager - Development - Web part containers"; 2. Press "new container" button; 3. from the right side of "Display name" field press icon with "Localize" pop-up help 4. In the pop-up window enter appropriate data into appropriate fields; 5. Press "ok" and "Save" them Honestly, I didn't test this method. But this must works. This's about Kentico 6 and Kentico 7.

Best regards Alexander

You'd have to go to the webpart you want to have the title localized and on the System properties tab, select the ContainerTitle property and change the control from a Textbox to a Localizable text box.

Short P. S. about K# in web part title localization. Next code works perfect in Kentico 6. I don't have multilang projects on K-7 and K-8 now. So, you must test it

In the web part "title" field press little triangle and in new window past this code

{% if (CurrentCulture == "en-US") {"Header in English"} else {"Header in French"}|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

By default the web part container TITLE is NOT localized. You have to change the field as I mentioned to get full functionality out of it.

This "If you want localize Web part container title (not web part title), you must do next: 1. Go to "Site Manager - Development - Web part containers"; 2. Press "new container" button; 3. from the right side of "Display name" field press icon with "Localize" pop-up help" will only localize the NAME of the web part container and has nothing to do with the actual TITLE of the container.

One workaround would be to replace the {%ContainerTitle%} macro with your resource string macro {$LocalizedResourceString$}. The bad part is you have to enter the keys in the Localization module by an administrative person. With the option I mentioned, these keys will be added "automatically" by the content editor.

Hi Sarathlal. No problem. You're welcome.

Is it possible to change all hard coded strings with web parts? If this possible, you can use Static Text webpart and you can use code like this for string management

{% if (CurrentCulture == "en-US") {"Header in English"} else {"Header in French"}|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}
