Question

I’m working on asp.net mvc web site Localization and I’ve faced problems with enums translation.

I need code like this:

public enum PossibilityEnum
{
   [LocalDescription(CultureCode=UserLoginInfo.UserLang, ResourceKey="ProjectDelete")]
   ProjectDelete,
   [LocalDescription(CultureCode=UserLoginInfo.UserLang, ResourceKey="ProjectCreate")]
   ProjectCreate,
   [LocalDescription(CultureCode=UserLoginInfo.UserLang, ResourceKey="ProjectEdit")]
   ProjectEdit
}

UserLoginInfo is my custom class, where I have all info about user.

Is it possible? And how can I make it?

Edit
UserLoginInfo has property

public LangType UserLang { get { return LangType.Eng; } }

public enum LangType
    {
        [Tag(TagType.Culture, "ru-RU")]
        Rus = 1,
        [Tag(TagType.Culture, "en")]
        Eng = 2,
    }

Remember that your View is just a means of presenting data to your user.

Although the enum is used within the code, you shouldn’t be using a parsed version of your enum as text on your View. Instead use it to select a string resource, which can easily be translated.
