Re: Localization?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

So far I like it.

I'm seeing some weird stuff with a 3rd party tool we bought. And as I'm just
now learning C# and localization I'm not quite sure how to do what they say
needs to be done to localize their tools.

If anyone else here has localized the DevExpress tools I'd appreciate if you
could tell me how to get the tools to display with the language selected in
the properties screen when I have a form up in the designer window.

My resources that I generated with Globalizer.net show up correctly, but I
haven't figured out where to put the files for DevExpress yet.

it sounds like Globalizer.net is a neat tool. I have used the Enterprise
Resource Kit, which provides some of the same functionality, soted in a
SQL database, but it is not fully baked and requires a bit of hands on to
get things done.

I am all for buying a product to save time, and the fact that Globalizer
allows you to have the tool in someone else's hands that is not highly
technical is great.

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
