Hi,

I need to have 2 (at least) different language in my C# app.
What's the best way to do that ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Herve MAILLARD,

I assume you want your app to support English or Chinese.

There are 2 ways to achieve this.

1) The not recommended way:

You had 1 xml file.

In the xml file, it support unicode, and it contains elements in English and Chinese. Example,

<Book>
<Title></Title>
<ISBN></ISBN>
</Book>

Chinese will have its own version, and English has its own version.

Now you need to use XMLTextReader to read it manually and assigned it wherever you wants.

2) 2nd way which i think is the good way to do.

Store the multi languages in the resource manager.
