Hi,

I have issues with @Translate tag when used inside a Razor block of code.

Consider this:

In translations.xml in root of "Templates" i have defined a key:
mykey = 1
@{
    // Using old fashion translate
    int anInt = <!--@Translate(mykey, "mykeyNotTranslated", global)-->;
    // Using real razor version
    // Where an overloaded method taking three parameter does not exist (!)
    int aSecondInt = Translate("mykey", "myKeyNotTranslated") 
}
        
It seems that the translation only is done on 2nd request!

Please try your self and explain to me this behaviour.

We have an issue with global translations with the real Razor Translate function, but we're working on a fix.

for now you have to use <!--@Translate(…, …, global)--> in Razor templates to use global translations. These translations are inserted before the Razor Engine processes the template.

Best regards,
Mikkel

But Mikkel, the Razor `Translate("a", "b")` has been activated in 8.4.1.15 which means that you may or may not run into issues even when using `@Translate` - Razor/Dynamicweb can mix up which version to use as Razor uses `@` to say: "Here comes some Razor code".

We have spend 2 hours trying to figure out what went wrong after a pre 8.4.1.15 solution running an otherwise working template was upgraded. That is a serious issue which could break any running Razor template running 8.4.1.15. Please try to learn from that mistake.

In Dynamicweb 8.4.1.16 we have added an optional third parameter to Translate in Razor. To use a global translation, this third parameter must be either true (boolean) or "global" (string), i.e.

@Translate("Show cart", "Show cart", true)
@Translate("Show cart", "Show cart", "global")

Sorry about missing that in the previous release.

We strongly recommend that you do not use global translations, and in Dynamicweb 8.5 we have a cool new translations system (http://developer.dynamicweb.com/releases/dynamicweb-8-5.aspx#14610) that you should try. This new translation system does not support creating and editing global translations, but global translations can still be used it they already exist.

Best regards,
Mikkel
