Best method of localization for many languages

P

Pete Davis

I've done some localized apps, but they were all dual language, English and
Spanish.

I'm now working on an open source app which I hope, some day, will be
localized into a number of languages.

Localizing the winforms is where I see the biggest problem. Using the VS.NET
IDE's support for localization is fine for 2 languages and even 3. After
that, I would believe it would be difficult to manage changes to forms. For
one thing, there's no easy way to determine which languages you're
supporting. For another, there's no way to know when the last changes were
made to one language vs. another.

Someone once mentioned using an XML based system for building their
localized forms that they said was easier to manage with many languages.
Does anyone know about this method?

Pete
