Tag groups localization

Hi Adam Tag Group it self can be localized, but the tags cannot be localized. So if you want to have language depended tags for each culture, the better solution is to create separated tag groups for each culture.

" Tag Group it self can be localized," - What do you mean by this?

Tag Group name is like a resource string, which can be localized.

You can create localization string in different languages and put localization macro ({$key$}) in the Page tags field. System resolves those macro according to selected culture.

Thanks Roman,

I tired what you suggested:

and click SAVE.

In the tag SELECT popup I do see the actual text and not the key, but if I try use the SELECT

to remove/add tags, all tags disappear.

I also tried changing culture and selecting tags, does not work.

Does this work for you?

macro would make this work, but it's not going to be something the regular content editor can handle. and as you can experienced, the UI doesn't support it when you use SELECT button.

Dear Adam. I use next algorithm of tags localization:

(For example we have two language cultures on the site English and Poland.)

1. Create two different tag groups. One with name "Eng Tags" and second with "Poland tags"
2. When you create page in another language culture, you will to have ability to select appropriate tag group in "Metadata - Tags - Page tag group" property.
3. Place tag cloud web-part on your page.
4. Open properties window of this part
5. Go to "Tag Filter" section and place next macro in the "Tag group name" field

{% if (CurrentCulture == "EN-US") { "Eng Tags" } else { "Poland tags" } |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

This is decision gives you more clear management with tags.

Hi Alexander,

What you suggested is almost what I did.

This is what I did:

1) Created several TAG GROUPS, all with same group name + culture code ( tagName_en-us etc.).

2) on BLOG main page- > metadata -> selected "Page tag group" for this culture.

3) ALL blog post INHERIT that tag group

4) cusotm webpart properties using TAGs ->

-> WHERE CONDITION : {% CurrentDocument.DocumentCulture |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

-> in actual query: Where TagGroupName = N'Blog_##WHERE##'

Thanks for all your help

I hope you decided your question. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Best regards Alex
