I want to experiment with an idea I have of automatically localizing software, or at least suggesting a reasonable translation if a localized string is not available. I'm not sure this will be working satisfactorily tomorrow morning but I just wanted to play with this idea. Does anybody know of a dictionary that is free to use, and is ...
I have a script that needs to display date data to an international audience - e.g. "submitted Tue 25 Aug 09" Is there an easier/cleaner way to get this converted to the French(etc) equivalent "Mar 25 Aoû 09" than: Setting a constant LANG and a $LANGUAGES array of include files & : if(LANG != 'EN') { include $LANGUAGES['LANG']; }...
What would be a good aproach to localize a MVVM based WPF allication that can change its language at runtime?

(not sure how the server here will output this but it is basically the same as if you were to open a binary in a text editor or bad character encoding). ���r#ə6�...
Why cant I change cookie? If you chose a language you cant change. You have to empty your cookies if you want to change language. Why is that? if (isset($_GET['setLang']) && $_GET['setLang'] == 'en' || isset($_COOKIE['setLang']) && $_COOKIE['setLang'] == 'en') { setcookie("setLang", 'en', time()+(3600*12)); //expires in 12 hours incl...

Hi, I have a WinForms application which can be localized through satellite assemblies for the resx-files. The user can switch the application language at runtime. So my question is: Is there any way to dynamically find out which cultures are shipped as localized resources with my client? ...
I have a Web application written in Java that is targeting several countries, all of which speak different languages (and more often than not, several languages -- that's Europe for you). We have a bunch of .properties files that hold the localized strings, and our current procedure is to e-mail the language-specific files to our partne...
So, I'm working on translating my C++ app into multiple languages. What I'm currently using is something like: #define TR(x) (lookupTranslatedString( currentLocale(), x )) wcout << TR(L"This phrase is in English") << endl; The translations are from a CSV file which maps the english string to the translated string. "This phrase is in...

I want to detect the regional settings changes and show the dates in the correct format in a WPF application. But there is a strange problem with CultureInfo.ClearCachedData. It randomly either works either not. Does anybody know why, and a workaround for this ? I know that the regional settings are stored in the registry, but it's too p...
I have thought of three approaches to create and maintain resources in .Net projects for WinForms using Visual Studio 2008. (I am sure there should be more than three ways.) I need to decide on one before starting to implement internationalization for our product. Have individual sets of resource files (resx) for each windows form or p...
I'm looking for a java library that would be able to format numbers as words for specified locale, (e.g. 17 = seventeen, 1023 = one thousand twenty three for en_US). I need this to work with monetary amounts, so decimal fractions need to be supported. The only thing I found on Google was ICU project, particularly this class. It looks so...
