Hi,
How should i create the localization ressource in an application so that it
I can send the ressource file to a translator and then afterwards use it
directly in my application - or it is possible at all?
If you use the standard .NET localization technique then when you set
the Localizable property for a form Visual Studio will automatically
generate a resx file to hold the resources for that form.
Programmatic strings are generally stored in the application
Properties/Resources.resx file and accessed in your code using the
automatically generated Properties.Resources static class. This
file can be localized by simply making a copy of the file and renaming
it with the appropriate language extension (eg Resources.fr.resx for
french resources) then including it in the Project with Build Action
of "Embedded Resource".
This means that you generally end up with a resx file for each form or
control and one or more resx files containing programmatic strings.
While you can just get a translator to translate these it does become
difficult for them to manage so many different files and often the
same string resources (eg OK, Cancel) are repeated on multiple forms.
For this reason it is generally better to look at a tool to assist
with the translation process.
Infralution's Globalizer.NET can extract all the localizable resources
for your applicaton into a single workspace file that you can send to
the translator. It includes a free translator edition of the tool
that allows the translator to translate, preview translated forms and
controls and even build and run the localized application. Once the
translator has completed their translation they send the workspace
back to you and to build the localized application.
You can get more information and download an evaluation version from:
