How to use the "Localization Set Content Picker Field"?

[timvdh]

I want to allow users to pick up the target content item in a localized menu. I thought I can do that with a MenuItem stereotype that uses the "Localization Set Content Picker Field" instead of the "Content Picker Field" but it does not work that way. How does the "Localization Set Content Picker Field" know the correct locale? It also does not have a "Title Pattern" like the "Content Picker Field" does, so I guess it has a completely different purpose or must be combined with another part?

Can you share a screen recording of what you're trying to do?

Thank you for taking the time! It's no big issue, I can just use the Content Picker Field (without localization). Here is my attempt:

Ah OK, thank you for explaining, it's clear now.

Localization Sets are basically about grouping localized items together, in exactly the same way you can group any items together with Content Picker (except that the former is only for items with LocalizationPart, and it filters items, when displaying the Set, for the current culture).

Do I understand correctly that you want to create a localized menu, where the Content Menu Item would display the item from the Set that matches the menu's (or the current) culture? You can't do this with Localization Sets, it's not really a feature for this.

My suggestion would be to create different menus for each culture. The menu items will have different labels, URLs, different content items attached, possibly you'll also have a different menu structure. So, they'll already be very different.

Thank you for explaining this. I am using it as you suggested now.

Much better to use dynamic localization for the menu. I already did something like that a long time ago. If my health gets better, I might demo it in the upcoming meetings
