How to localize radio-button inside admin interface in Kentico

Question

I have a custom Page Type with ArticleType field presented by Radio Buttons control with the following list of options:

News Event

My website has EN and DE cultures. What I want to do is if content editor edits the page on German he sees:

Nachrichten Veranstaltung

But if he switches to English, he would see:

News Event

But the actual value saved in the database would be "news" or "event". How can I make it within Kentico admin interface?

You have to be more specific as to where this radio button is before anyone can help you with an answer. — Brenden Kehren, Jul 08 '19 at 14:30

The solution proposed by Peter will display the same localization string even if you switch to another language in Pages application because it will use the culture of the user but not the culture of the page.

The following macro should work for you:

news;{% GetResourceString("custom.news", LocalizationContext.CurrentCulture.CultureCode) #%}
events;{% GetResourceString("custom.events", LocalizationContext.CurrentCulture.CultureCode) #%}

I guess you want to do something simple like go to localization and create resource strings in EN and DE for your radio buttons. Then you create a simple radio button set
