I am trying to localize a look up table for my module and I want it to still work with DNN's language editor. For example, I created a table called "CompensationType" with the following columns:

  • RowID - int
  • Code - int
  • LocalizedName - nvarchar(50)
  • CultureCode - nvarchar(50)

Example row:  2 | 2 | Commission | en-US

Is there a better approach than this?

this sounds reasonable, if your primary key is CultureCode + RowId + Code, where code specifies the field within the row.

Thanks for the reply, but I have decided on another solution for now. In case anyone else has a similar question here are some links to the solution I am using:

this is a valid alternative, I would use for more or less static values. For frequently edited cases I would prefer a database driven approach, which supports data integrity.
