Use dictionary from xml file, Sitecore 8.2

Question

I need to access the dictionary from an XML file to display a message in the publish dialog of a Sitecore 8.2 instance. In the file sitecore\shell\Applications\MarketingAutomation\Controls\SelectList.xml, I found this code:

<input id="search" type="text" class="jq_watermark" title="${Translate.Text(Texts.ENTER_SEARCH_CRITERIA)}"/>

so, in the file \Website\sitecore\shell\Override\Publish\Publish.xml, I tried to emulate it file in this way:

...
      <WizardFormPage ID="Settings" Header='${string.IsNullOrEmpty(WebUtil.GetQueryString("id")) ? Texts.PublishSite : Texts.PublishItem }'
                      Text='${string.IsNullOrEmpty(WebUtil.GetQueryString("id")) ? Texts.SelectTheRelevantPublishingSettingsForYourWebsite : Texts.SelectTheRelevantPublishingSettingsForTheItem }'>
        <WizardFormPadding>
          <p style="color: red; margin:25px 0px; font-size: 1.2rem;">${Translate.Text("PublishingWarning")}</p>
          <Scrollbox ID="SettingsPane" Border="none" Background="transparent">
...

I also tried

... <p style="color: red; margin:25px 0px; font-size: 1.2rem;">@Sitecore.Globalization.Translate.Text('PublishingWarning')</p> ...

I was sure to add the Dictionary item in /sitecore/system/Dictionary. What comes out on the pop up is the literal text in a red font (because of the styling of the p tag), rather than the value of the dictionary item:

${Translate.Text("PublishingWarning")}

Answer 1

You can use Literal to display the Publishing Warning message as below inside the xml file.

<Literal class="publish-warning-text" Text='${Translate.Text("PublishingWarning")}' />

This will display the message from dictionary on the publish dialog. Also you can add the styling for the class name set inside Literal, using the style tag in the xml file.

Hope this helps!!! Let me know in case you face any issues.
