multilingual support

[Marc Soleda]

Hi all, I'd like to know how you make your application to support localizationand if you prefer to work with resources files and its namespace or you prefer to work with external xml files and tools (like gettext, ...). Why have you chosen your way? Thanks in advance, Marc Soleda

1- It's more generic. 2- Mthods and classes are built-in. 3- Has a lot of documentaion. You'll know easily when you screw up 4- Most important => It takes less to code and maintain.

Hi, you can also, enable islocalizable property, then simply select language, then type necassary text, save it, vs will create a localize res. you can also see it in the debug folder as a dll.. Cheers.

hi In my case i have diferent user with diffrentent language preference. So as per user's login language id is comming from db. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("langID"); Then i am having a .resx file for common messages. And for each .aspx page i have .aspx.[langID].resx file. And some code to get data from this .resx file like System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new System.Resources.ResourceManager("namespace address", typeof(Resources).Assembly); This way we donot need a thridparty tool and maintenace is quit easy.
