In code, I provide the data with a String.Format: String.Format("I have {0} dogs and {1} cats", 1, 2) So the output is this: "I have 1 dogs and 2 cats". The problem that I'm trying to solve is the phrase "I have {0} dogs and {1} cats" needs to be transla...
As the question is a bit self explanatory, I want to achieve the goal of a multi-language website. I am using an Entity Data Model with MS SQL 2005. I came up with an idea of making a seperate database for each language with exactly the same model and relations. So I can use the Entities constructor that takes a connectionString and swit...

Java uses period in decimals, e.g. 1/2 = 0.5 Is there any way to make it use comma instead, as in 1/2 = 0,5? And not to use comma for thousands (as in one hundred thousand = 100,000) but use space instead (100 000)? When it comes to output I suppose I could use all sorts of string format functions, but the problem is input (JTable). ...

Hi there, I'd like to know if it is possible to "distribute" the translation resources (my "Localizable.strings" files) in many subfiles. Indeed, in my application, I store text articles in many folders, and I'd like to put the translations of each articles just aside the original article, that means in its own folder. To summarize, I...

Any shortcuts? ...
I have a program that sometimes is used in locales that use commas for the decimal separator. Its nice how C# handles all that (good for the UI), but when I export to a file, I need to always use a ".", not the locale specific number. Currently, I do: String.Format("{0:0.####},{1:0.####}", x, y) Problem is that in some locales, that ...
Hi I have a shortage of screen real estate for my time labels in my iPhone app. My solution is to have the time e.g. 12:00 on one line and then if the users current locale specifies that an AM-PM is used, have these in a second label below it. Since AM-PM also have localized variants I can't just look for the letters "AM" or "PM", then...
Let's say I have a string, and that string's value is an amount of money, localized. By localized, I mean that if the country may use commas instead of decimal points, for example.
