What is the default fallback language in Umbraco?

English (en) is the standard fallback language used by the Umbraco Backoffice if a specific translation key is missing for the current user's culture.

How do I use translations in a custom Umbraco element?

You can use the 'this.localize.term()' method, which is automatically available in classes extending UmbLitElement, to fetch translated strings by their key.

Does this skill support pluralization logic?

Yes, it provides examples for defining translation keys as functions that return different strings based on numeric input for proper pluralization.

Can I use dynamic values in my Umbraco translations?

Yes, the skill supports passing dynamic arguments to translation keys using the '.args' attribute in the template or as the second parameter of the term() method.

How do I translate properties inside an extension manifest?

Prefix the property value with a '#' symbol followed by the translation key (e.g., '#myExtension_label') to tell Umbraco to look up the value in the localization registry.
