Multiple Language

[Adrian Soon]

Hi All, Is there any other way to make my application multiple language? Currently I'm creating a class to handle all the diff language in an array and calling them upon diff timing.

click HERE it uses the localization class built-in in VS. whereby it creates a single XML file for each single language.

an application can be made multilanguage provided you use a flexible framework such as the .net framework ,it alllows developers to create multilanguage classes within the same application ,for more one needs to know more about the .net framework and its properties .:) ankitbhadana

I suggest you read the topics about globalisation and localisation in the MSDN http://msdn2.microsoft.com

You can do it to a certain point. On code project there is a tool to translate resources, which works nice. Support from .NET is not really an improvement above the resource dll's you couldmake with MFC. If you'r really seriuos, there is a book about Internationalization focussing on .NET (look at Amazon for it). My recent experience is that it takes a lot of specific knowledge and it takes much time to make real multiligual applications. I.m Dutch and I love my laguage but I don't think I really want to invest so much time in this. An important thing is that you must include it from day 1 into yor design. Adding multi langauge support later on is very difficult and tedious to do.

I agree 100% with that. Here in Switerland with our 4 official languages, localization is always needed ;)

I think the .NET framework offers enough: - local Resources - global Resources But of course you have to program some helpers specific to your project.
