Custom JSON Properties

If your property editor stores its values within a JSON object, you can use the config file to tell Translation Manager how to interpret your properties data. For example, if you have a property that stores its data in the following format:

{
    "Key", "some-key-value",
    "Title", "my property title",
    "Content", "<p>some rich text content</p>"
}

Then you could use the config options below to define the Title and Content fields as text-based. Within the Mappers section of the config file, you can define this using the <custom> or <grid> config nodes (see below for details of how the grid naming works).

<mappers>
    <custom>
        <config alias="My.Custom.Property">
            <properties>
                <property name="Title" alias="Umbraco.Textbox" />
                <property name="Content" alias="Umbraco.TinyMCEv3" />
            </properties>
        </config>
    </custom>
</mappers>

This config tells Translation Manager to treat all My.Custom.Property values as JSON and to extract the title and content values when creating and importing translations.
