[2008] Multi-language - Cannot Get My Application To Display In English
Feb 14, 2009
VS 2008 SP1. I cannot get my application to display in English, it always displays in French. I have an application that uses 2 languages. The default language is en-GB and the second language is French. For setting the text of the buttons and labels. I have set the localized property to true and changing the language to fr-FR on the form. So setting the default languages controls by choosing the default the language property, and then switching to French language to set the French controls. So I have the following files:
formMain.resx
formMain.fr-FR.resx
formMain.Designer.vb
formMain.vb
And for message boxes and other strings I have added these 2 resource files
formMain.Strings.resx
formMain.Strings.fr-FR.resx
So if I want to switch to different languages I have changed the cultureInfo as follows:
If My.Settings.Default.Language = "fr-FR" Then
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")
Else
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-GB")
End If
And for string I use the following: MessageBox.Show(formMain_Strings.SameStringName)
I also an address book form that is a child of the formMain. Which I have used the same method. However, the address book works as normal, but the formMain never changes to the language I want. Even though tested by explictly setting the language to en-GB in the form constuctor before the inializeComponent() it will always default to French. Not sure why the address book (child) work correctly, the parent form (formMain) will always display in French, no matter if I have set this to en-GB. I am 100% that my method is correct using what I have show you above. I was thinkng about deleting the formMain and creating a new one. But that would mean doing everything again and would take too long.

I'm building a multi language application, but in the application, there will be some data that will be retrieved from the db. In the db I have two tables (Access Groups, Teams) the two tables are related, there are some groups, that have teams, example (sellers can belong to team 1, team 2, team 3...). The data that will change it's the names for the access groups and the names for the teams. The only way that I can think to do this, is to have the different values for all the languages in the code, or some auxiliar file, and when loading the application I'll truncate the two tables and fill them with the current language values. By the way those values never change...

Im also going to connect to a database where the list of words will be held.

Is there any function (VB.NET or C#) that can transform an English word into its singular or to its plural form? I was thinking of having a database that contains all words in English as well as their plural form but I also think that it is stupid since that will be huge and besides there are rules in English on how to translate a word to its plural form, so why not create a function that does the transformation?

I am developing heavy mathematical engineering windows application in VB.NET (VS2005) with MSAccess Db. This application has resource files in English, Spanish and German Language. I have same setup to run in all these 3environment Windows XPs. In English, calculations are perfect; but in Spanish ',' is treated as '.' and '.' is treated as ',' e.g. 12.24 in EN is '12,24' in Spanish. I somehow managed to do it by manually replacing ',' by '.' and vice versa; but this is now not manageable since program is expading like anything. I saved number in DB while installing. User selects his language and so I check, if its Spanish, I explicitly replace "." in labels and text in TextBox to ",".

I have a question about creating a multi-language application and the use of resource files. I will explain what I have done and what I would like the final product to be like.I am doing this in VB.Net and using Visual Studio 2008 After creating a new project, I added a resource file to the project (Add -> New Item, Selected Resource File, named it Resource1.resx).
I then double clicked the resource file and was able to add some names and values. For example,
Name - lblFirstName, value - John
Name - lblLastName, value - Smith
On my form, I have 2 labels: FirstName, and LastName
In Code, I added
FirstName.Text = My.Resources.Resource1.lblFirstName
LastName.Text = My.Resources.Resource1.lblLastName
If I run this code, it works fine. John and Smith are displayed on the labels. Now for my question. Say instead of first and last name the labels (buttons, menu items, etc.) were actually words that would be different in different languages. What I would like is to have something like
EnglishText.resx
SpanishText.resx
GermanText.resx
Each resource file would contain the same names, just different values. Depending on what language was selected, decided by the user (from a menu), how can I get the matching resource file to be used.
Basically what I want would be FirstName.Text = My.Resources.<Language Specific Resource File>.lblFirstName
Is something like this possible? Is this an acceptable approach? Is there a better way of doing this? I try to check often to see if there are follow up questions or if more information needs to be provided.

I am a Network Administrator in the Army so programming is not my strong area. I have been messing with Batch files and WMI, just recently i started VB Scripts (VERY BASIC) like adding an input box to set computer name, scan network for computer name on domain, return wmi info for that remote computer etc... I know there are programs out there that can do all of this, however the Army will only allow certain approved programs to be installed on government workstations, i have been using .Bat files to gather info which is fine, however it is very time consuming when you have entire subnets with computers, networked printers, etc to place into a spreadhseet for higher headquarters tracking not to mention the over 20 columns of required data to track for each computer. I have VB 2010 Express, working on a Windows Form Application Project. Goal is to interface my VB Script (written with notepad) with a GUI that will generate an internal spreadsheet on the form window in a datagridview. So far i have the basic window and i have my gridview with my column headers set. How do i get the data into the columns and rows accordingly.
Application Basic: Execute Program, in main window select button (Scan IP Range) <--- I want this to open an input box for the beginning subnet, input base address to start scan from, next input box for end range, then msgbox for start scan. i want the results of the scan to autofill the datagridview and add new row for each IP address that had a ping reply, returning valid data from WMI results as it receives the data. What would be the best method to achieve my goal. i am not asking you to write the program, i have been looking and studying MULTIPLE sites, think i just need another set of eyes on this to unlock the knowledge i have locked away, if ya know what i mean. Also, if you don't mind let me know what you think of this app im trying to turn out... Super Thanks for your help.This is the Base Batch File running. It calls an external VB Script written in notepad. (I want this implemented into the app form so there is no console window.)This is the inputbox from external VB Script that is called.This the result of the external VB Script (the info i want to put in the datagridview of the app.)I also, for some reason can't get scroll bars to show in the app when i hit F5, theres about 15 columns passed the MAC column...?

hen you add for example German language you will have these files: formMain.resx ormMain.de-DE.resx formMain.Designer.vb formMain.vbIn first file you will have resources for neutral language, like strings, images, ..So now you need to add also resources for strings used in code. Add a new resource file and name it formMain.Strings.resx Then i will enter name, value pair for every string that should be translated. When you add resource file then it is automatically typed because another file with name ormMain.Strings.Designer.cs is automatically regenerated on every close of resx designer.Add another resource with name formMain.Strings.de-DE.resx. Add the same Name key's from previous resource, and just change the Value with coresponding german words. Now to access created resource from the source it will be like this

i 'm develloping an application that uses a sql server database, in my computer where i'm programming i installed the sql server in the same language of the OS, in the tests of the application everything worked fine. Biut after migrating the db to the main server, the values went crazy.. After some research and tests, i saw that the language of the sql server was in english and that was the problem.
My language settings says that the decimal separator is "," and the agrupment digit it's ".", and the sql server works in the other way "." is the decimal separator and the "," it's the agrupment digit. In my code i was using the CDEC to pass the values to the DB, to solve this i removed the cdec and send the parameter as a string (So if i send 2,33 to DB with CDEC i get 233 if i send the 2,33 string i get 2.33). This works for now, but i don't know if in the future i'll have problems...

I'm facing a major problem with a Deployment Project I created to install one of my applications.I am using the ENGLISH IDE of the Visual Studio 2008 - even though my end users will have German environments. This is why I set the
Localization = German
Property in the Deployment Project's Properties. The UI of the generated setup is German, so all's fine there. However, the setup installs the ENGLISH .Net Framework. I have not found any way around this.The problem are at least twofold:
1. An English Framework on a German PC might cause instabilities.
2. It's a big flaw to see UI inconsistencies (i.e. the UI and Setup of the application is German while the NET Framework shows certain elements in English, e.g. the DisplayName property of cultures)how can I get the project to install the localized .NET Framework?

I am writing a program that will display numerous labels in English and Spanish. The problem is I have the formatting correct and labels aligned for English, but when I hit the button for Spanish the labels on the left overlap the labels on the right. I did set the text on the Spanish side to include 10 spaces before the text, which does align it properly, however there has to be a better way to do it. I tried padding the label on the form which works good, but I would like the padding to only take effect when the selected language is Spanish. Once English is selected I would like the formattting to go back to normal.

I want to simulate a way to "force" the ASC function to use the english codepage, even on a system having the "language for non-unicode" different than English.[code]On a system having "language for non-unicode" set as English, currently the result is 140..On a system having "language for non-unicode" set as Slovakian, currently the result is 79..The twist is I CANNOT user AscW (for reasons I cannot disclose)In the particular example above I would need for the code to always return 140.If there's a way to force the whole program to use the english code page I could work with that as well.[code]

Operating system : Windows XP SP3, English edition
Both 2 computers are up to .NET 3.5 framework.The application ran well on Japanese edition OS computers but when I tried to launch on English edition OS computer, there was an error described : See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
************** Exception Text **************
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for system.xml.serialization/xmlSerializer: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->

I guess this error is result of not able to reading from XML file that includes Japanese words. These words are defined as string.

I'm adding multi-threading facilities for the first time. I have a function that is wrapped to be run in a separated thread. This function retrieves data (text) from a combobox and it works for sure without multi-threading.
When I call it as multi-threaded, I get the following error when I try to retrieve the data from the cmobobox: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'cmb1stBL' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
It looks like a restriction of thread-safety... I assume that the child thread cannot read from his parent, to make sure that he doesn't change his parent data. So how can I read the data from the combobox? Should I read the comoboxbox data before calling the child thread?
