Re: Localization?

The reason we're looking at the product we're evaluating is that it can
build a single MSI that will contain the localized versions of the install.
We won't have to have a Russian install, a Spanish install and an English
install anymore. It's also handy to have one person in charge of all the
resources for our solution, and be the pivot person for dealing with the
translators. The developers don't have to worry about anything other than
turning on localization on their projects and taking care of the few places
where we have strings that are generated at runtime.

You need to head one of a few directions:

1. resource file tool - the Enterprise Localization Toolkit from Microsoft
can be set up to be used. There are others out there

2. Globalization specific product - one already mentioned by Marty

3. Export the resources as Excel and create your own tool to turn it into
a resource file. The resource file is XML, so this should not be overly
complex.

I kind of like the idea of a tool, but I have never tried
globalization.net.

Hi,

I have now read a lot about localising C# applications but haven't found
what I was looking for - hope that someone will be able to help me.

This is what I would like to do:
1) Create my application in the default language using VS 2005 (no
problem)
2) Create a resource file for the message boxes etc. using "add item" in
solution explorer (no problem)
3) Now I would like to send every form.resx and the Resource.resx to a
translator who translates all the strings to e.g. german.
4) After receiving the strings from the translator I want to insert the
new files: Form1.de.resx etc. and the resource.de.resx into the solution.
5) Adjusting all the forms to fit the german language (textboxes etc.)
6) compile and deployment the application

how do I fulfil item 3 to 6? I guess that the translator must have an
external resource editor that can save the file in a format that the VS
2005 ide understands or what?

Thanks and best regards
Ole
