How to use implicit localization with MVCSiteMap?

Question

I'm trying to use implict localization with MVCSiteMap but it's not working.

Here's my sample Web.Sitemap:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<mvcSiteMap xmlns="http://mvcsitemap.codeplex.com/schemas/MvcSiteMap-File-2.0" enableLocalization="true">

<mvcSiteMapNode title="Home" controller="Home" action="Index" changeFrequency="Always" updatePriority="Normal">

    <mvcSiteMapNode resourceKey="Products" title="Products" controller="Products" action="Index">
        <mvcSiteMapNode title="Edit" controller="Products" action="Edit" />
    </mvcSiteMapNode>

    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Categories" controller="Categories" action="Index" />
    <mvcSiteMapNode title="Suppliers" controller="Suppliers" action="Index" />

</mvcSiteMapNode>
</mvcSiteMap>

I have resourceKey="Products" in the above sitemap and a corresponding Products.title in Web.sitemap.resx file, inside App_GlobalResources folder. Followed these instructions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178427(VS.80).aspx

What I am missing here?

Edit

This has been implemented in the changeset 52831.

You need to access the title of the menu item from the resource file in your MvcSiteMapNode

<mvcSiteMapNode title="$resources:MenuLocaliSations,Dashboard" controller="Dashboard" action="Index" changeFrequency="Always" updatePriority="Normal">
