Localizable application

[machocr]

Hi, Im developing a localizable aplication, so I add language support to my forms a and dialog messages whit resx files. all is good but if I change something in my forms i miss some messages and control language definations in resx files. So, what can i do? Ho do you implement localizable languanges in your applications. I use VS.c# 2005 express. :confused: La realidad no es más que impulsos eléctricos del cerebro - Morpheus

For serious use buy a localization tool. It will track deltas, carry over resize, protect against changes on data that is not localizable (as Microsoft pretty much managed to make one of the worst beginner misktakes when designing the resx format - they did not separate translatable strings from strings that should be changed by engineers/programmers). If it is a small home project you probably have to do it the hard way - manually. VS really isn't meant as a localization environment for anything but small hobby use.

Thank you! Is sad to hear that but I think is true too.:(( My project is a framework for business aplications, so I will study the tools that are n market or I will make somethig for my needs (read, write, import, export resx files for control.text properties,tooltips,helpstrings and custom messages strings) :cool: La realidad no es más que impulsos eléctricos del cerebro - Morpheus

TRY using StringDB at www.swbox.com - supports ALL languages in the world (ASCII, UNICODE, UTF-8) - uses MS Excel files for translation - You can change language and strings without recompiling the software - Non-technical people can prepare new language releases - Is being used by embedded devices and also PC software coldstone
