## Constructors

[PlugInDisplayNameAttribute(string)](Phoenix.PlugIns.PlugInDisplayNameAttribute.-ctor.md#Phoenix_PlugIns_PlugInDisplayNameAttribute__ctor_System_String_)

The default display name.

[PlugInDisplayNameAttribute(string, string)](Phoenix.PlugIns.PlugInDisplayNameAttribute.-ctor.md#Phoenix_PlugIns_PlugInDisplayNameAttribute__ctor_System_String_System_String_)

Define a display name for a specific locale.

## Properties

[DisplayName](Phoenix.PlugIns.PlugInDisplayNameAttribute.DisplayName.md#Phoenix_PlugIns_PlugInDisplayNameAttribute_DisplayName)

The display name to use for the specified locale.

[Locale](Phoenix.PlugIns.PlugInDisplayNameAttribute.Locale.md#Phoenix_PlugIns_PlugInDisplayNameAttribute_Locale)

The name of the locale or language in which to use this display name. To select the actual display name, the user's current culture is examined. A locale appropriate to the user's culture is selected. The selection is made by checking for a display name attribute with a locale that matches:

- The value of `System.Globalization.CultureInfo.Name`
- The value of `System.Globalization.CultureInfo.TwoLetterISOLanguageName`
- Any display name attribute created without a specified locale, or with the locale set to empty-string.
- The two-letter ISO code for English, "en".

If no appropriate display name can be found, the name of the plug-in's implementing class is used.
