Localization for Enum #6006

Hello!

I need to use localization for my enums with annotation to use with dropdownlists, but i cant figure it out.

Aaron has described it like this:

public enum OrderByOptions
{
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.Default")]
    Default,
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.PriceLowToHigh")]
    PriceLowToHigh,
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.PriceHighToLow")]
    PriceHighToLow,
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.MostRecent")]
    MostRecent
}

Copied from this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46642292

But i get validation error saying that this attribute is not valid on this declaration type, only valid on 'class, method, property, indexer, event' declarations.

Any solution? Thanks in advance!

    Any idea how to customize the taghelper GetEnumSelectList to support that functionality and make localization possible?

    You can define "Enum_{Enum_Name_Here}_{Enum_Value_Here}" localization keys for your enums. Something like "Enum_OrderByOptions_PriceLowToHigh".

    ismcagdas, can you please provide some example, i dont really understand how to use your example?

    I have tried to add:

    <text name="Enum_Test_Type_Summer">Sommar</text>
    

    For this Enum...

    public class MyEnums
    {
        public enum Test_Type 
        {
            [Display(Name = "Summer")]
            Summer
        }
    }
    

    But the strings will not be localized.....the values in the dropdown becomes: "Summer" instead of the wanted "Sommar"

    Could you also share generated cshtml code ? Maybe I understand you wrong at the first place.
