Resource Gallery (Image) descriptions in an International Si |
|
|
Hi, is there any best practice approach for implementing image
descriptions (Alt tags) in multiple languages for assets stored in the
resource gallery.
For example I might have an image called logo.gif with a description
that says "This is the logo" in en-GB, however when this asset is shown
on the German site I need a description in de-DE.
One solution would be to have multiple instances of the asset however
this is undesirable.
Another solution would be to store alternative lanaguage descriptions
in a separate datastore however this has its own implications.
I could create an image posting template and then have an entry for
each image and then create connected pages with a translation per asset
however this would be very tedious.
This question could be extended to ask how to attach meta-data to
assets...
Would be interested in anybodies thoughts or solutions that you may
have implemented dealing with the same problem.
Thanks in advance (particularly to all the Microsoft MVP's!) |

Hi,
I would suggest to create a database table in a second database that has the
resource guid as index and the different descriptions in different columns.
Then look up the description from the table in the desired language column
rather from the AltText property.
Cheers,
Stefan.

Thanks Stefan.
What is the most appropriate event to use to when a resource item is
created?
Are events raised by Site Manager that can be used?
I would like to automatically create an entry into the 'resource alt
tag database' each time a new resource is created.
(if you had a sample for the event that would be great!)
Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
there is no event that can be captured. Sorry.
Cheers,
Stefan.
