View 8 RepliesHow To Make Multilingual Apps
Sep 9, 2011I'm trying to learn how to make multilingual apps. All defaults text for controls are saved in Form1.resx (Created automatically by VB.NET). I've set the Localizable property to True and Language to German(Austria). So far so good and VB.NET created the file Form1.de-AT.resx.Both resource file contain text for the different controls on the form. When I click on a particular button on the form, I want a custom message to be displayed according to the language setting/resource file in use.In both Form1.resx and Form1.de-AT.resx i've added another row for the custom message. How do I write the code so that when the button is clicked, it retrieves the custom message from the appropriate resource file? [code]Another thing, is Localization only for changing language or does it affect date and number formats also? Just asking because if a PC Regional Options settings is set to English(United Kingdom) and I do 5/2 the result is 2.5. If it's set to German(Austria) the result returned is 2,5But in VB.NET, if I use Thread. CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("de-AT") (i.e German-Austria) the result returned for 5/2 is 2.5 and not 2,5

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 - Multilingual Support - From VB6
Jul 16, 2010I am currently working on converting an app from VB6 to VB.NET 2.0 - I am only using 2.0 to provide Win 2k compatibility, AFAIK, Win 2k can't run any framework newer then 2.0. Part of the conversion includes moving multilingual support over. In the VB6 version, we were storing the translated text in an Excel document - the xls could be passed to translators. A script in the xls file would dump the languages to individual text files and generate a LanguageRescource.rc file which was then compiled using RC.exe.
When the app started or the user selected a language, the resource file was read using:
Public Sub LoadLang(ByVal LangNum As Byte)
Dim bData() As Byte
[CODE]...
It was then split using vbNewLine as a delimiter and the lines assigned to the labels and to a public array for use in other places in the program (message boxes, log files, etc). Doing the same thing in .NET doesn't seem possible, or is rather convoluted. I have read many articles on globalisation, localisation, etc and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I am wanting to have the language files built in to the executable, not as dependencies. From what I can tell after reading all of this information is there are at least 2, if not more to do it.
1) Use form localisation. This would require changing all the captions and things for each language, this would in turn generate frmMain.<lang>.resx files.
The correct file would be loaded automatically on form/program startup and is hard to change at runtime if the user wishes. it would also cost me a fair bit of time to add every one of the 23 languages. It also would not satisfy my other requirements of message boxes and output to log files.
2) Make a resource file and store the strings in there, in a similar fashion to what I was doing in VB6. The problem is, how do I separate each languages strings? Each resx file only seems to be capable of storing on string table.

Asp.net - Multilingual Website, Change The Asp CommandArgument Directive To Html To Switch Languages?
Jan 29, 2012I have a multilingual company website (Visual Studio / VB / ASP.NET 4.0), and when, on the homepage, you click a flag, the text changes to that language and stays with you the entire session, after I made a class, BasePage.vb. Everything works great, but the URL never changes .... clients.aspx remains clients.aspx although the text DOES switch to Dutch.
It's been recommended by @Aritstos to make it so it looks like clients.aspx?lang=nl as opposed to just clients.aspx in another language.
Currently, my asp homepage hyperlinks that work look like this:

C# - .net - Array.Sort And Array.BinarySearch - Culture And Globalization?
Apr 19, 2009I need to sort an array containing a list of words and search the same using binarysearch. For certain reasons, the word-list must always be sorted using the sorting-rules of "en-US" i.e. American Regional Settings. The code will run under various international Operating Systems and of course this will mean that the word-list will be sorted differently according to the local Regional Settings in use. One problem could arise on a computer/device running with Lithuanian Regional Settings. Why? Because the letter "Y" in most languages is sorted like X-Y-Z while in Lithuanian, the sort order is I-Y-J. This behavior would create havoc to my program.
[Code]...
However, in means of flexibility I believe Guffa's answer is the best one. Why? Let's use another example:In German, the letter Ö is sorted Ö-X-Z while in Swedish and Finnish, the order is X-Z-Ö. In Estonian the sort order is Z-Ö-X. Complicated, isn't it? Guffa's solution will let me force Swedish sorting-oder (changing CultureInfo) on a device running under German Regional settings. Using Comparer.DefaultInvariant with its association to English wouldn't help in this case, probably the letter Ö would end up with O. Therefore my vote will go to Guffa.
