I'm trying to create a multi-lingual confirmation e-mail but having no luck. The documentation tells me to use bracket syntax but doesn't tell me if there is a bracket syntax for a dictionary item. I've tried:
1: [#Geachte]
2: {#Geachte}
3: [Geachte]
4: #Geachte
But they all just return themselves. Except for number 1 which returns empty!
It's the first one - i believe they only work in macro parameters though - , do you have a dictionary item with the name "Geachte" ? And does one of your parentnodes has a hostname/language combination on it? :-)
hi Gerty and Rik, thanks for the suggestion. I'm talking about contour though (this is the Contour forum).
With some help from Sebastiaan I figured out #Geachte is the correct notation to use inside the Message field of the Contour Send Mail workflow but, here it comes, you're only allowed to use 1 dictionary item. So if you add more text or items it will fail.
Yup, if you put a # in there, the rest of the field's content will be seen as the dictionary key. The XSLT transformed e-mail workflow item is more appropriate for this purpose.
bracket syntax for dictionary item

This is how it works in a template:
in XSLT:
umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem('WebTrendsDomain')square brackets are only involved if you want to pass on dictionary items to a macro or usercontrol as a parameter...
