How can I switch from one language keyboard (Greek) to English programmatically? I am programing in Visual Studio 2005 and in Visual Basic. I would like not to have to use sendkeys to do this.

View 2 RepliesIm trying to create a program that translates english to another language. i have no clue how to begin doing this, i have the program designed and all of the buttons besides the "Translate" button coded...it has 2 radio button to choose which way you are translating, (English to german, or German to english) the input is a textbox, and the output is a label. and its going to be nothing more than a "replace this word with that word" kind of program. Im also going to connect to a database where the list of words will be held.

text-to-speech for English language using Visual Basic 2008
Dim speech speech = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
speech.speak(TextBox1.Text)
how this can be used for other languages?
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?
View 4 RepliesVS 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 want make my application be able to switch with 2 language or more
View 7 RepliesLets say I am currently logged into my desktop as two users, One to the local machine and the other to a domain. Each has its own desktop. Each desktop has its own set of icons. I want to essentially hotkey switch users in such a way that my experience is that I end up on the other desktop without having to re-enter my passwords or perform any clicks. In other words. I am on desktop one. I hit lets say "ctrl-Alt-S" and I end up on the other desktop. Any security issues are mute as I am the owner of both login. I want to write this in vb.net and am assuming that I need to use API's.

View 1 RepliesI am using the following code to bring up the keyboard map in an application:
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Filename.exe")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("osk")
It works great, but I also have three radio buttons that change the language at the application level only, and when I click one, the language on the keyboard map should update, but does not. The only time it updates is when the mouse is over the keyboard map. Is there a way to detect if the keyboard map is shown, so I can make it update to the new language?
You cannot just make a variable like:keyboardMapPresent = True - because you have to also be able to detect when the keyboard map is closed!
I need a way to know the current selected language for keyboard until if the form of my program is not active. For Example, if the user open Notepad and write in english, my program should recognize that the current keyboard language is English. When customer changed the language to French my program should know that immediatly... note that the program is not active.

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 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]

I've written a Windows application which reads the title of a Window (which is in Greek)
and adds it in an Array List. However, when I MessageBox.Show(thatString) it appears as '?????'.
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 would like to show a mathematical summation in a rich text box, using the standard mathematical notation that shows a Greek capital sigma, with the starting value of n below the sigma and an infinity sign above it. I have successfully done this using the code below, but I cannot get the infinity sign closer to the sigma. It looks like it is not part of the summation notation.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get the infinity sign lower? When I use a character offset to lower it, it also lowers the lines below it, so that the distance between the infinity sign and the sigma remains unchanged.

I have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.

How do I calculate relative time?How do I calculate someone's age in C#? Anyone know how of a function in VB.NET or C# that will take two dates, calculate the difference and output that difference in an english string? For example if I pass the dates '3/10/2009' and '3/25/2009', the function would return the string "15 Days" or if I pass the dates '3/10/2005' and '3/15/2007', the function would return "2 Years, 5 days"
View 3 RepliesI have been playing around with trying to create an english to pig latin translator. I am not really sure where to start, so right now I am just focusing on splitting a string and search for "A", if the word has "A" add "way" to the end of it. Here is what I figured out from some reasearch (I found most of this from a post on here): Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]...
It works, But I am not sure how to get it so it search the entire string without having to do 1,2,3,ect.
What would be the best way to search the string for certain letters? I was thinking some type of case or loop but I tried a few different things, but could not get it process correctly. Google, gives me alot of different examples, but I can not get most of them working with my code. I only have a semester of VB.net Programming, so I am trying to find the best way to do this, without making it too complicated.

Declare constants for all numeric values in the two formula above. The variable used to represent the number of meters and the numeric constant 39.37 must be declared as the data type double. the constants and data types in the first formula should be declared as integers. Convert the Total Inches in the second formula to a Double data type before using it in the calculation. Set Option Strict to on in your code. (Hint: After the number of meters has been determined, the maximum number of kilometers can be computed from Kilometers = Meters/1,000. Next, the remaining meters can be determined from: Remaining Meters = Meters - 1,000 * Kilometers. The number fo integer meters in Remaining Meters then can be determined from: Integer Meters = Convert.ToInt32(Remaining Meters). Continue with the same technique to compute the number of centimeters.)

the form allows the user to type in a word in English and get back its Spanish translation. To accomplish this, you must read a (dictionary) file into a Dictionary (hash table) data structure and search that structure used its properties and methods.
View 1 RepliesI have a form to display in textboxes text which has been read in from a txt file. The data can contain accented characters from European languages (French, Spanish etc.) but when these occur the display is corrupted. How do I configure VB.NET to handle these characters (I am assuming there is some setting to do this rather than having to write code to process all input)?
