Not getting the plugin title to choose localized string from language xml

I've followed this guide to make my plugin name localized http://sdk.episerver.com/library/cms5/html/T_EPiServer_PlugIn_GuiPlugInAttribute.htm.
But it doesn't work, it just return my display name. This is my code

[GuiPlugIn(
        Area = PlugInArea.AdminMenu,
        Url = "/Modules/Plugins/DictionaryPlugin",
        LanguagePath = "/",
        DisplayName = "Title",
        Description = "Description")]

My episerverframework.config says (this works with all other localized strings)

<localization fallbackBehavior="Echo, MissingMessage, FallbackCulture"
    fallbackCulture="en-US">
    <providers>
      <add virtualPath="~/Resources/LanguageFiles" name="languageFiles"
        type="EPiServer.Framework.Localization.XmlResources.FileXmlLocalizationProvider, EPiServer.Framework" />
    </providers>
  </localization>

It's in this folder I've added my language files in one of them this is part of the content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<languages>
  <language name="English" id="en">

    <Title>Dictionary</Title>
    <Description>Description</Description>


  </language>
  <language name="Svenska" id="sv">

    <Title>Språkuppslag</Title>
    <Description>Beskrivning</Description>

  </language>
</languages>

What do I need to change to make it work?
Thanks!

Hello Andreas.

The name of the key in the language file should be "displayname", not "title"

Hi Sergii,

I changed my code to

[GuiPlugIn(
        Area = PlugInArea.AdminMenu,
        Url = "/Modules/Plugins/DictionaryPlugin",
        LanguagePath = "/",
        DisplayName = "displayname",
        Description = "description")]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<languages>
  <language name="English" id="en">

    <displayname>Dictionary</displayname>
    <description>Description</description>

  </language>
  <language name="Svenska" id="sv">

    <displayname>Språkuppslag</displayname>
    <description>Beskrivning</description>

  </language>
</languages>

But it still renders the display name, not the localized value.
Thanks for your help!

Try to set LanguagePath property of GuiPlugIn attribute to an emtpy string. Internally LanguagePath value is concatenated with "/displayname", so the extra slash might be the reason for the issue.

Maybe someone could fix the documentation so that the example value of a LanguagePath doesn't contain the ending slash: "/myshop/plugin/ShopPluginTree";-)
