hello,
i want to make my next project in support multilpe languages . Has anyone
hav tips,good documentation
how to handel this. I've read some articles using the 'Satellite assembly
approach ' . But the form's size expands
up to 10 times the original size. So i rather take the 'assembly resource
approach'
thanx,
Stefan
 
Stefan,

With the current situation in Net I go for languages still for a XML file
that gets the needed language using this standard Net class

Advantages are that you can correct errors outside your program an add
languages by specialist afterwards.

For things as dates and currency you can use the globalization classes. For
that those are in my opinion excellent.

Just my thought,

Cor
 
Hi Cor,
Thanks for your thought.

So when you load a form the appropriate strings are read from the xml file,
right?
Doesn't this slow down the load time?

kind regards,
Stefan

There have been big discussions in these newsgroup what is better, using a
config file, the registry or a database table to store user settings.

(Before you ask it, for me is the answer on this, computersettings registry
specific client settings (not passwords) the config file).

Now you come with this question from you.

What you want me to say?

Why not Polish, Dutch, a Scandinavian or any other language, it is a common
name in those countries. Therefore it will probably be used all over the
world, from those countries come many emigrants.
