I am having some strange behavior when attempting to view my app in a different language. When using a box with a MUI installed (German in this case) and I switch the language to German (the setting is "Language used in menus and dialogs" in the regional and language options) all my forms and controls are translated into pseudo-German (...
I need some information about localization. I am using .net 2.0 with C# 2.0 which takes care of most of the localization related issues. However, I need to manually draw the alphabets corresponding to the current culture on the screen in one particular screen. This would be similar to the Contacts screen in Microsoft Outlook (Address Ca...
What's your opinion for the best possible way to build asp.net multilingual localized web application (only UI localization of string resources). Especially this two things: How to store resources? Xml files, resx files or something else? How to handle URL's? I don't want to keep language parameter in query string all the time so I nee...
Question I'm sure many of you have been faced by the challenge of localizing a database backend to an application. If you've not then I'd be pretty confident in saying that the odds of you having to do so in the future is quite large. I'm talking anout storing multiple translations of texts (and the same can be said for currency etc.) f...
I trying to implement a typical languages menu where users can select the language they want to view the site in through a menu that appears throughout all pages in the site. The menu will appear on multiple master pages (currently one for pages where users are logged in and one for pages where users are not). My current implementation...
I am in search for a database with translations so I can have comonly used phrases and words translated by a machine and not by an expensive translator. Is there such a thing as a translation database with words and often used phrases? If you don't know any would you use such a service? edit: the database should only be monitored by pe...

I am looking for the best way to implement a winform with different languages, but i don't want to use the resources files of Visual Studio because you always have to recompile. I have found the following solution to use XML files without compilation: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/xml_localization.aspx I find it is OK, users c...
Its my understanding that the recommended approach to localization in WPF is to use the LocBaml tool to extract the localizable items into e.g. a csv file, translate the items into the desired language and regenerate a new sattelite assembly from this csv file. However from my experiments this seems to conflict with the generation of sat...
We would like to enumerate all strings in a resource file in .NET (resx file). We want this to generate a javascript object containing all these key-value pairs. We do this now for satellite assemblies with code like this (this is VB.NET, but any example code is fine): Dim rm As ResourceManager rm = New ResourceManager([resource name], ...
I need to bind labels or items in a toolstrip to variables in Design Mode. I don't use the buit-in resources not the settings, so the section Data is not useful. I am taking the values out from an XML that I map to a class. I know there are many programs like: http://www.jollans.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=MultilangVsNetQuickTourForm...

Having a fully internationalised application is a necessity if you want to sell worldwide. In Java we're using resource bundles and that solves things for static text codeside. But what do you do about text that is stored in the database? Starting with static definitions, to user modifiable objects, ending with user entered data. Assum...
Here's a simple (hopefully) L10N question: Do all locales want this format: Sunday, Nov 23, 2008 with the weekday before the date, or do some locales want it after the date like this? Nov 23, 2008, Sunday ...

We can use language specific resources and have all kinds of tools that work well with them. But what is the best approach in defining a multilanguage database schema? Let's say we have a lot of tables (100 or more), and each ta...
