However if I create a Web Site project this combo box is disabled. Is there anyway to a...
The site I work on has a lot of images that contain text. This includes buttons and navigation. To support localization I include 2 css-files. One that has non language specific properties (font, colour ...) and one that has language specific properties. There is only 1 language specific file served to the user depending on his choosen ...
This is a follow up question (and possibly should have been asked before it) to this question: Subclasses of java.util.Calendar. I'm internationalising a large Java app that uses dates fairly regularly since a lot of the data has dates associated with it. One of the first languages that it will be translated into is Arabic. Currently...

The original developers who worked on the project did not anticipate that there will be unicode strings. Although the table's datatypes support unicode characters (NVA...

This works fine for the default r...
My ASP.NET application is localized (by using resources) to many cultures. What I need is to find all these cultures (in runtime) and for example fill a DropDownList. I have code which does that in windows applications - buids collection of available cultures by seeking satellite assemblies. But what about web apps? It's possibe to fin...
This is a really difficult question to answer, and the general answer may not be very useful (varies a lot depending on target demographic) but I'm interested to see any information on this topic. I'd like to understand how many software users worldwide I would eliminate by not localizing software. Does anybody have experience with non E...

How is text in a database localized for the iPhone? The examples I've seen have hard coded strings in the .m file or .xib. For example: NSString firstName = NSLocalizedString(@"First Name", @"This is the first name"); What happens if the strings you need to localize are in the database? I haven't found discussion of this type of lo...
I'm trying to implements selection lists using Smarty and I'm aware of the {html_options}. The application must support localization (which I implemented as described in this post). Is it possible to combine the two? I'm currently handling it by parsing through the items with {section name=i loop=$list} and "manually" generating the HT...

I am working on globalizing/localizing an asp.net application with C# as the backend. We are in the process of extracting strings to a resource file, and have run into a problem.

How do I programmatically change the language used in WinXP using .Net 2.0 (or a pInvoke). The user does not have access to the task bar in the application I'm working on so the input method needs to reflect the application's selected language. I need to be able to swap the language from a left-to-right to a right-to-left and back again ...
I have a label on a page which gets localized text through the meta:resourcekey attribute. The issue I have is that I want it to display different text depending on which view of a multiview they're on. I tried adding the attribute though label.Attributes.Add("meta:resourcekey", "label"), but that doesn't seem to load any text. I tri...
