I have created a global data type, and use form renderer in a page to let user fill in the data and submit to website.

The default English is working fine. now when I try to support the second language I run into issues. According to the composite documentation:

1.Add your empty localization file at ~/Frontend/CompositeForms/Renderer/Localization/, for example: Composite.FormsRenderer.de-de.xml
2.Copy the contents of the default Composite.FormsRenderer.en-us.xml to your localization file.
3.Translate the strings.
4.In ~/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config, under the section locate Composite.Plugins.FormsRenderer's add section and register your localization file

but ~/Frontend/CompositeForms/Renderer/Localization does not exist, and neither does Composite.FormsRendereren-us.xml exists.

is the documentation outdated? does anyone had experience with localizing form renderer on user defined data type?

thanks

    remember to include what version of C1 you're running. Configuration of Localization in composite.config has changed dramatically lately and this could be what you're experiencing. – Pauli Østerø Apr 03 '13 at 13:52
  • I am using composite c1 4.0.4837, it's beta version downloaded from codeplex and compiled locally. form renderer package is install from console->System->available package. – user2237889 Apr 07 '13 at 17:55

The documentation IS outdated at the moment (and will be updated soon - thanks for pointing it out).

Do it in the following way on 4.0 or later:

  1. Make a copy of ~/Composite/InstalledPackages/localization/Composite.Forms.Renderer.en-us.xml, changing the language/culture code from 'en-us' to your language's (e.g. Composite.Forms.Renderer.de-de.xml).
  2. Translate the strings.

No need to change anything in ~/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config any more.
