hi there, i wonder if there is a simple solution to change language of a wpf application during runtime. i used locbaml to globalize all the resources. Setting the Current Thread's UICulture in the App-constructor works fine, but when i try to chang it a little bit later, i doesn't reflect the changes anymore. This was actually quite ea...
Greetings all, I'm trying to localize a .NET/C# project. I'm using string resource files and setting the "Localizable" property on all my forms to 'True'. The assembly culture is empty. The resx/resource files are successfully passed through Lingobit, resgen, and al. When running the localized executables, some of my forms are not ...
I'm trying to design some tables to store some data, which has to be converted to different languages later. Can anybody provide some "best practices" or guidelines for this? Thanks ...
Can you create websites with Chinese characters in PHP? UPDATE: Perhaps I should have said - is it straight forward. Because some languages like Java make it extremely easy. Perhaps localisation in PHP isn't as easy as Java??? ...
Which is the best way to go forward while building a localized aspx web application, .resx files of satellite assemblies? Is there any performance comparisons available any where on web? ...
According to MSDN form.RightToLeftLayout = True; form.RightToLeft = ifWeWantRTL() ? RightToLeft.True : RightToLeft.False; is enough to mirrow the form content for RTL languages. But controls placement gets mirrowed only for controls immediately on the form, those inside a GroupBox or a Panel are not mirrowed, unless I put them on a ...
Dialog closes with Cancel result, no exceptions, as if you have pressed its close button. The only safe place to set RightToLeft property is in the form constructor. It occured to me that this information might save somebody else's time. If you are able to elaborate on the issue: if there is an official bug confirmation, what else mig...
I need to add the ability for users of my software to select records by character ranges. How can I write a query that returns all widgets from a table whose name falls in the range Ba-Bi for example? Currently I'm using greater than and less than operators, so the above example would become: select * from widget where name >= 'ba' and...
I'm trying to add multi-language support to an OpenSocial application. I see that I can link to my own message bundles in the gadget XML markup: <Module> <ModulePrefs title="Hello" description="Message bundle demo"> <Require feature="opensocial-0.7"/> <Locale lang="en" messages="http://example.com/hello/en_ALL.xml"/> </...
I've been playing with the .NET built in localization features and they seem to all rely on putting data in resx files. But most systems can't rely on this because they are database driven. So how do you solve this issue? Is there a built in .NET way, or do you create a translations table in SQL and do it all manually? And if you have...
In the quest for localization I need to find all the string literals littered amongst our source code. I was looking for a way to script this into a post-modification source repository check. (I.E. after some one checks something in have a box setup to check this stat) I'll probably use NAnt and CruiseControl or something to handle the m...
Hi there, I'm looking at introducing multi-lingual support to a mature CGI application written in Perl. I had originally considered rolling my own solution using a Perl hash (stored on disk) for translation files but then I came across a CPAN module which appears to do just what I want (i18n). Does anyone have any experience with in...
I am currently building an Excel 2007 Add-in using VSTO (latest version + sp1) and .Net 3.5 The code simply takes the position a chart using the Top and Left properties and stores it in an XML file. The problem im facing is that when the xml is generated using a Vista Ultimate + Excel 2007 + English environment the code works perfectly...
Hi, I have an application which is supposed to work on both windows and Mac and is localized in Portuguese, Spanish and German. I have an ini file from where the localized strings are read from. But the ini file doesn't work with same encoding for the files on both platforms. For Windows I have to have the file in ANSI format or else t...
Please share you experiences regarding how you localized your WPF applications to support multiple languages and any resources that helped you in it? Thanks for your feedbacks. ...
I am trying to provide a SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) 2007 Integration in multiple languages (de/en). Therefore I need to localize the GUI which should be possible by the "localize" checkbox within the Visual Studio, at least as far as I know. But there are also some action XML files which define the actions the user could...
What is the best way to load a locale-specific (i.e. translated) compiled help file (.chm)? Our install will deploy them alongside the satellite assemblies containing resources. I'd like to re-use the same probing rules the .NET framework uses to load the satellite assemblies, and I'd definitely like to avoid writing my own searching alg...
Hello, We have an application where people can type in multiple langugaes. Though we only have one database to store all the data. We have text columns as nvarchar ( assuming we only want text data to be in multiple languages and not all dates etc.) Do you think this is a feasbile solution and are there any other points to consider bes...
I'm trying to localize my aspx pages. I'm done with content localization using L10n features provided by .net f/w, like resource files. But I'm finding it difficult to set local data in page titles. Most of the browsers, including IE and FF, shows content on window title with some boxes (FF will show properly localized text in tab, IE ...
I have an internal web app with an image at the top of the page, currently containing some english text with drop shadows. I now need to provide localized versions of this page for various languages. My main choices are: Have a different graphic per supported language, containing the localized text. Use CSS to position localized text o...
