Multi-line strings in objective-c localized strings file
I have a template for an email that I've put in a localized strings file, and I'm loading the string with the NSLocalizedString macro. I'd rather not make each line its own string with a unique key. In Objective-C, I can create a human-readable multiline string like so: NSString *email = @"Hello %@,\n" "\n" "Check out %@.\n" ...
NSDateFormatter - set device language as locale?
Hey. I'm trying to get the iPhone to display dates formatted by an NSDateFormatter in the current device language. I have tried setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale], but that only returns 5 instead of May (or Mai, as I want it to be). EDIT: currentLocale shows May (english). systemLocale shows 5 (I think systemLocale is Norwegian), and ...
How does the App_LocalResources work with MVC?
I've been working through my first MVC application, and I'd like to localize it. I know how to use the App_GlobalResources but I'd prefer to use the App_LocalResources. In a typical WebForms application, you put the App_LocalResources folder in the same directory as the ASPX file... is this the same in MVC (IE: do I put them in the res...
iPhone: NSLocalizedString reading from English .strings file even when another lang is set
Hi all, I have an app that has some non-US Localizable.strings files. They appear in the project as I expect them to: there's a Localizable.strings object, and sub objects for "en", "fr", etc. Each of those is a UTF16 text file, and I've verified that they get propagated into the build package as correct binary plist files.

Difference between using resgen and Resource files for localization
I've been reading a few articles about localization in .NET and it seems there's a couple of different approaches. Some of the articles are quite old though.

(I'm a starter in the sharepoint world) See screenshot below. In the default EditForm.aspx, the title is translated automatically.

Supporting different locale regions using Rails i18n
I'm using the standard Rails I18n API to localise some of our views. This is working really well, but we now have a few use cases for regional changes to the en locale.

However one of our distributors wants to add the Danish translation and its not in the standard Qt translation files. How can I get Qt to create the file so I can send it off for translation...

How can I change the default UI language when installing a patch/update? The problem is that the patch takes the initial language in which the setup to be patched was installed and not the current system language (defined in Regional Settings/Advanced Options).

Changing where a resource is pulled during runtime?
I have a website that goes out to multiple clients. Sometimes a client will insist on minor changes. For reasons beyond my control, I have to comply no matter how minor the request. Usually this isn't a problem, I would just create a client specific version of the user control or page and overwrite the default one during build time or ma...

Javascript culture always en-us
I'm not sure if I understand this code or if I'm using it right, but I was under the impression that in an ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX website I could run javascript like: var c = Sys.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture and it would give me the culture/language settings the user had specified in their browser at the time of the visit. However, for me, it...

Programmatically change the default code page in Windows XP? (from Delphi)
Could anyone advise how to programmatically change the default Windows XP code page (I'm doing this from Delphi)?

Are there any solutions for translating measurement units on Rails?
I'd like to implement measurement unit preferences in a Ruby on Rails app. For instance, the user should be able to select between displaying distances in miles or in kilometers.
