Retreiving a PageName but in a specified language

Vote:

Hello There, I am trying to retreive the pageDisplayName but only in English. I am trying to create DIVs that have the ID set to the page name in English. The code below gives me the name of the page in the navigating language. I tried using the EPiServer.Core.LanguageContext.Current.ChangeLanguageSelection to do so but it doesn't work. Help?


private String CreateDiv(PageData pageObject)
{
    EPiServer.Core.LanguageContext.Current.ChangeLanguageSelection("EN",true); // Is this the way to change the language?

    String pageDisplayName;
    if (pageObject.PageLink == Configuration.StartPage && StartPageName.Length > 0)
        pageDisplayName = StartPageName;
    else
        pageDisplayName = Abbreviated(pageObject.PageName);
    return pageDisplayName;
}

Thank you. Regards, Victor

Hi Victor. What I believe you want to achieve can be done this way by using the GetPage method:

PageData langPage = Global.EPDataFactory.GetPage(pageObject.PageLink, new LanguageSelector("EN"));
String pagename = langPage.PageName;

If you do it this way, it smart to put the GetPage in a try/catch, to prevent a possible LanguageNotFoundException to be thrown if the page does not exist in the requested language. Regards, -Geir Allan Hove

Thanks so much. Our support people also recommended the following:


This is the way to get the page in a specific language. You have to make sure the page exists in English or the language you are trying to retrieve.
 
LanguageSelector selector = new LanguageSelector("EN");
PageData thePage = EPiServer.Global.EPDataFactory.GetPage(pageObject.PageLink, selector );
