IMPORTANT!! This blog article is OUTDATED (and has been moved). You should instead read my updated article about the Text theme object on the Official DNN website.

I followed the instructions to a T but it doesn't seem to completely work. It shows the default language but when I switch to my second language, it still shows the default language's text. Is there a setting in DNN that I'm missing?

DNN 7.1.2

Nothing working even with default language returning nothing using 7.3

Sounds like you need to submit a bug to Jira, but it would be even cooler if you can find and squash the bug too. :)

I already posted the bug but i found the solution as well, In 7.3 the variable "Text" has replaced with "ShowText" so the token must be with ShowText instead of just Text

I have checked in .cs file under admin folder and i found the variable has changed, i hope it save many people time

Happy DNN

@Rashid - I did a quick check and can't see that variable change, so it must have either been done a long time ago - i'll add a note to the jira and close it.
