Resources :: Localization, Detect Untranslated Text?
Jan 6, 2011
I'm working on a project, where the localization is mostly done using resourcefiles/cultures. If a translation does not exist for the language, the default language is used.I recently received the task of reviewing some problems with the translation. Some text is in the default language, some not. Why it has not been translated is not always obvious, as there are cases when the resource files are not used, or have not been translated. I would love to be able to see what is the case without having to check the code.

I've implemented the localization in my windows application with no problem for the label or command button which have a fixed text.
My problem is related to the label which text is merged with some variables or object properties.
E.g.: vb label1.text = "There are " & myDataGridView.Rows.Count.ToString() & " items"
So, how can I set (if it's possible) the localization for these labels? I've this kind of assignment in modules and not in the form. It's possible to set a resources file also for modules?

In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?

I came to a company that already has a fully grown project... but coders that worked here before me didn't follow conventions and didn't use parametrized SQL queries... as a result there is over 1000 places in a very huge project that can possibly be vulnerable to SQL injection...
I need to find a solution that will automatically detect if there is an SQL injection in the code. So, for example there is a form which allows user to enter comments regarding a product, which will be sent to database on submit... how can we make sure that a user didn't enter a harmfull query instead of a normal text?
Is there any advanced code/regular expression/magic that can detect if this text contains a piece of SQL query instead of normal harmless text? I will accept any links, pieces of code in any language or even commercial software that will do that for me.

MSDN only discusses strings, images, audio, etc.. but does not cover text files.
I have a text file with about 6k lines of short strings, each on its own line, added to my project's resources and I'm trying to .add each line to a collection. I've tried about 7 or 8 things, not all using StreamReader, but I can't find documentation on this anywhere.
Here is the last thing I tried:
Dim JunkStrings As New Collection
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(My.Resources.shorts)
Do While sr.Peek() >= 0
[Code].....
I just can't find the equivalent to this that reads lines from a text file out of my.resources.

I am witting an app that will generate batch files to do an unattended installation of a share point 2007 farm. I already have a batch file I use and it's pretty big. I copied and pasted the content into my application, and I'm using the System.IO.StreamWriter to write to the batch file from the winform. [code]As you can probably guess, I'm doing all of this in my mainform code window. There are maybe 3 or 4 batch files that will be generated based on the selections made on the form. For example, I'm generating a batch file to create the OU, Group and service accounts the farm will use in active directory, I'm creating a batch file for all of the variables that will be used for the additional batch files created, etc. How can I split this up? is there a way to create the batch files without having to actually copy, paste my existing batch file content into the mainform code window? I'm using file.writeline on each line of the pasted content by the way.

I'm having a problem where instead of reading a text file from the location string, I changed it to read the text file from the resource location and it breaks my program. I've also used the insert snippet method to get most of this code, so it is safe to say I don't know what is going on. [code]

I try to create a localization of my application. I tried 2 versions:
1.http:[url].... but when I am changing in the combobox the language, nothing is happen.
2. the example from the Training Kit of the MCTS Exam 70-511: Windows applications development with Microsoft .net framework 4. The example works, but the problem is that I want to change the language in the current form not in another.
Also I meet next problem. In my form I have many components: labels, charts, calendar etc. When I select for example German from the combobox, the header of the calendar is changed but all other components are the same, you can not see anything changed.I checked the resources, but them are ok. I tried also to use me.refresh(), but it was useless.

I've just read this page [URL] One of the things they did was to convert the arabic date to the arabic calendar. I'm wondering if it is a good idea at all to do so. Will it actually be annoying/confusing for the user (even if the user is Arabic). Also, my second question is that do we really need to change 3,899.99 to 3.899,99 for some cultures like German? I mean it doesn't hurt to do so since the library already does it for us but wouldn't this actually cause more confusion to the user (even if he is German).

I've been reading about i18n and how to make my app ready for localization. One thing recommended is to set the NeutralResourceLanguageAttribute in the AssemblyInfo.vb file like such: <Assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en")>However, when I do that I get 'Type is not defined' Anybody have any clues?

i've created an addin which shows localized properties for the current component being designed, be it a form or a control.
My approach is to load/save localizable property values through the designers resourcemanager service (resourcereader/-writer), but when I save the values, the changes doesn't appear in the designer, unless I reload it.
It's worth to say, that I am using the CreateTransaction+OnComponentChanged approach, which does notify the desiger that changes are made, but it doesnt change the newly edited resources...
Is there some way to make the designer refresh it's resources? Is there a way to know which language (form localization) the designer is designing? Is there a way to track when DTE.ActiveDocument changes, so that the toolwindow can be refreshed?

I've just about finished my WPF app, but I just hit a hurdle: my app needs to be totally localized (I've achieved this using databinding/RESX files & multiple cultures), and the actual program does this My problem is that I have a window where you generate reports on your progress.It's designed so that programmers will be able to design their own 'report sections', using interfaces & class libraries.Just one problem though: when I use RESX files inside these class libraries, they won't actually change even if I set their culture to the relevant culture I want to test.

I have a month calendar in a form.The control documentation says it will get its format and all strings from LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT.I have set my system location to a latin amarican country, so the month calendar should be shown in Spanish.Most of its functionality is, indeed, following the Spanish format: The month appears in Spanish and dates are reported with dd/mm/yyyy format.Nevertheless, the "today" portion of the control, at its bottom, appears in English as "today:" instead of, let's say, "Hoy:".I also noticed the "today" text turns blue when the mouse moves over it, but not all the date turns blue, the last two digits of the year stay black.I should state that my Windows and Visual Studio are in English.Could it be a bug in the control? Maybe is there a patch to correct this?

So in VB.NET I created a resource file called "source.txt" (as its a text file). My program will take in the text in the file, and then compile it into an executable.
How do I access this file which is in my resources folder in my project?

I'm having some trouble using resource files. In my project I'm using a bunch of bitmap files and two txt files. Bitmaps are used as backgrounds for controls, but .txt files I want to open in Notepad or WordPad. Till now I was accesing them from a file path on my machine:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(direcorypath & "/Map.bmp")
Process.Start(direcorypath & "/Instrukcje.txt")
And it worked fine. Now I added these files to my resources (it's practical for me to have them in executable file) And replaced those lines with:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(MyProject.My.Resources.Map)
Process.Start(MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje)
For bitmap it works fine, but for txt file an error occurs saying that a file cannot be found.
Interestin thing is: when I type "MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje" in "Watch" it shows the content of the file. So it is there, only not as a file?

Is there an easy way to edit the code below so that it copes (works the same) if the embedded resource is not a plain text file, but a compressed text file?
Dim tempList() As String
tempList = My.Resources.ENABLE.Split({Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None)
For Each strWord In tempList
enableFullList.Add(New Words(strWord))
Next
I have seen System.IO.Compression but can't work out what to do, DeflateStream, GZipStream etc.

I'm trying to localize a big application I'm doing by my side. In order to do this, I would need some external translators to get the text (in an xml or the like) and make the appropriate translations to several languages. All the localizations in the application have been done using the localization options of the IDE, so whenever I build the application, I get the compiled resources.dll file of the given languages, but I see no way to get a not-compiled XML version of it, to be passed to the translators, so they can do their job and I can compile it later.

Recently I was delving into Localization with .NET. Essentially, I learnt how to customize a form (using the Language and Localizable property) and then change the culture accordingly.However, I found that when migrating my hard coded English strings into the auto-generated resource files, and use .GetString("Key") well, let's just say it wasn't happy :P.
I decided to make a separate set of resx files dedicated purely to the hard coded string translations. They followed the convention/requirement of [name].[culture-code].resx. I made of of these for each relevant language; e.g. appstrings.de.resx (For German) and appstrings.resx (as invariant baseline).

I am working on implementing localization in a winforms app and I went the route of setting the Localization property on the form to True and setting the default language to english,spanish, german, dutch and a few more. When I click on English the form displays correctly, when I click on Spanish or French it makes the panels inside the form small and the controls within it small. It doesn't allow me to resize anything or more the panel

Is there a way to detect the actual width of text in a vb.net web app? It needs to be dependant upon its font-style and size.
In vb6 you could copy the text into a label and make it expand to fit then measure its width, but this won't work in vb.net.
