@Arjaan: you should be able to do this using the name from the Resource string. In such case SharePoint should automatically take care of the translation to right name.

It's even worse. Our NL MOSS 2007 page library is called "Pagina's".

Do you have suggestion on how to use the right listname when adding a webpart to a page. E.g. a 'sticky' webpart in a page layout? I've got a webpart that inherits from the ContentByQueryWebpart and needs the ListName as an attribute.

@John: Perhaps not all of them but you will definitely have to be careful and do some extra testing while upgrading.

Hi Waldek,

How is life?

I hadn't read this post yet but I was just thinking the same when I was browsing some old code last week.

I am sure that almost all of our NL MOSS 2007 solutions will break on this… Good to know!

Cheers!

[...] Inconvenient Pages List Name (Waldek Mastykarz)While working on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 Web Content Management (WCM) Solutions you might have relied on the fact that the name of the Pages Library was always Pages. Well almost always, because in some languages, like German, it was translated along with the Title. Given that fact, changed the way we had to deal with the Pages Library in code. Instead of hard coding the URL part of the Pages Library, all of a sudden we had to retrieve it dynamically, just because someone accidentally translated the URL of the Pages Library. But looking at SharePoint Server 2010 tells us otherwise. Now the URL parts of Pages Libraries in all languages are translated. So was it a mistake in MOSS 2007 that in German the Pages Library was called Seiten or was it a mistake that the Dutch one was called Pages instead of Paginas? [...]
