Qt culture-aware QString container classes

We have a text-analysis application where the text being analyzed can be of any culture (English, Spanish, Thai, Arabic, etc.) Different cultures have different rules for strings: sorting, word breaks, determining which characters are the same, etc. How do I make Qt container classes culture-aware? For example, if I am using QMap<QStrin...

iphone how to localize only particular parts of app

i'm making a korean/english app, so naturally i would need both english and korean displayed on the same tableview cell at the same time. i've considered specifying an element in the plist to be a particular language... but how would i write in korean characters? i have a dreadful feeling there will be much to custom code for this with...

Asp.net Localization - Should I use a button?

This is a pretty basic question. Since browsers have a culture setting that the web app uses to decide which locale to use, should I still have a "language" button for users to be able to override the culture? Why or Why Not? To me it doesn't make sense to have a button there if the user had already set their language in their syste...

Localization not working

I have an application that is supposed to be localized (two languages, english being the default). However, I seem to only get the English versions of all strings, regardless of what the system default language is. I am probably missing something trivial, but I've read several tutorials now without any solution. I added this line to ma...

How to get Japanese text input for a custom text box

I have yet to implement it, however I cannot seem to find any examples on this and I am looking for pointers on the matter before I start. Do I just create a caret and position it where I want the input to occur? Do I need to actually draw the caret via the Win32 API? In general, how does the IME decide where to put text and how to re...

Full screen OpenGL app blinks every time an IME window is rendered on top of it

As the title suggests, I am trying to get the built-in Windows IMEs to render into a full screen OpenGL window. It seems that whether or not I actually change the display mode and just use a pop-up that fills the screen, I still get a prolonged black screen (for about 1 second) every time the IME GUI begins and ends its rendering. Oddl...

Some questions about Django localisation

I intend to localise my Django application and began reading up on localisation on the Django site. This put a few questions in my mind: It seems that when you run the 'django-admin.py makemessages' command, it scans the files for embedded strings and generates a message file that contains the translations. These translations are mappe...

iPhone: localization / internationalization default strings file

I currently have two supported languages: English and Spanish. Thus I have two main.strings files for each language. One in en.lproj and one in es.lproj.

Bing Maps pushpins appearing on top of map in Germany(latitude values getting automatically set to 0)

Hi, I have a Silverlight Bing Maps application where I plot the pushpins based on their latitude and longitude values on the map. Although the application works great in the US, the same application when viewed by our team in Germany ends up having all pushpins rolled up to the top of the map(latitude values get set to 0 by default). An...

Deployed to iOS4, localization stopped working

Since upgrading 'everything' today to deploy to OS4 devices, it no longer recognizes localized XIBs and plists. (It=neither iPhone simulator or iPhone.) As in, before OS4, switching language caused the correct localized files to be loaded, but not so now. Does something need to be 'recreated', 'nudged', or renamed? It has worked on simul...

Localization of the iPhone Settings.bundle

For some reason I cannot get the Settings.bundle to recognize my additional languages. I must be missing something obvious, but I just cannot figure it out. Here's what I've got: Project Structure in XCode: Root.plist file: French Root.strings file From everything I've read, I believe the project structure is right. The Stri...

Overriding preferred strings localization on the fly for testing

Using the Settings app in the iPhone simulator to switch languages is a PITA way of testing localization tweaks. I'm trying to figure out a way to switch localizations (en/fr/es/etc) on the fly in my app with a debug setting without restarting the app. NSBundle provides ways of requesting localized resources from an arbitrary localizati...
