I feel dumb asking this, but here it goes. I use gcc/g++ on Linux and since my install is in spanish (my native language), gcc prints warnings and errors in spanish.

This was a hard question for me to summarize so we may need to edit this a bit. Background: About four years ago we had to translate our asp.net application for our clients in Mexico. Extensibility and scalability was not that much of a concern at the time (oh yes, I just said those dreadful words) because we only have U.S. and Mexican...
I have a web server located in Switzerland and it is intended to serve both the American region and the European region. When a date is being displayed from the Americas, the date is separated by a period rather than a slash.

What is the proper way to access them i.e. from a function located in \lib\common.php. Do I really have to do an include_once("config.inc.php") within each f...
What is a good method to localize labels (column headings, field labels, headers/footers, etc) on Crystal Reports? We are currently on XI R2 SP4 but are looking to migrate to 2008. It looks like 2008 offers better localization of the viewer UI. Does it have a content localization story? ...

Although this seems like a trivial question, I am quite sure it is not :) I need to validate names and surnames of people from all over the world. How can I do that with a regular expression? If it were only English ones I think that this would cut it: ^[a-z -']+$ However, I need to support also these cases: other punctuation symbo...
An ASP.NET project I am working on will be adding localization in the next version. As we pull text from our ASPX pages into resource files and other data into database tables, what tools might we want to evaluate to assist this process? Are there any tools to assist translators to create the localization files? ...

I have an asp.net app with some local resources. These resources are used in the aspx and code-behind files: aspx: <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:testTag %>" /> .vb: TextBox1.Text = GetLocalResourceObject("testTag").ToString If I deploy the .resx files with the app, there are no problems. However, if ...

(Just like this http://ww...

Hello, I have a UserControl that displays some text of a DP of the UserControl. For this a converter is used. I understand that the culture parameter is the "en-US" culture, unless you specify a different culture in the ConverterCulture value of the binding or the xml:lang attribute.

I'm using Smarty and utilizing the config_load respective {#VAR#} variables to implement localization.

This method of localization has been great as my app will automatically load up the right str...

In closed environment application (where you know that localization will never be required), do you just skip it and call the methods without the IFormatProvider? In applications that might get localized, do you think about the correct valu...
