PluginPageInfo localization

[sjtuross 9]

The PluginPageInfo class has Name and DisplayName properties which are shown in UI. Is there a way to dynamically localize them based on current user display language?

Yes, there are localizable attributes available:

Emby SDK Reference: DisplayNameLAttribute

Emby SDK Reference: DescriptionLAttribute

 

These have a localized and a non-localized constructor, for example:

 

The first two members are not localized. The other four items have an entry with the string as key in the RESX resources of the given type.

I've created an extension for Resharper which makes the localization very easy. (R# supports and assists in localization but not for attributes):

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I was not clear. I refer to this class https://dev.emby.media/reference/pluginapi/MediaBrowser.Model.Plugins.PluginPageInfo.html

I think it's not possible to decorate its Name and DisplayName with the mentioned attributes, right? Because it's not my class.

Decorating doesn't help in any case, because it's not a UI class.

AFAIK, there's currently no way to localize the menu name for plugin-provided dashboard menu entries.
