Is there any way of setting the name and description for fields and field templates in blocks that is created via code?

Can’t you do it with myTemplate.Localization[culture].Name?

Where do I do that? I can’t see any properties for “name” in BlockFieldTemplate.

Try these:  
var name = myTemplate.Localization[culture].Name  
var description = template.Fields.GetValue("\_description", currentCulture)  
Add type after GetValue (does not show here because of the characters).

The accelerator for Litium 7 is reading the name and description translation from the resource files, see the `SystemLocalizationHelperService` for the implementation. To add translations for other cultures you will add them in a resource file for the culture, see [https://docs.litium.com/documentation/architecture/back-office/translations](https://docs.litium.com/documentation/architecture/back-office/translations)
