I am not sure where to put this question... but, we have a SQL Server 2005 -> .net 2.?? application that is suppose to be made available to multiple countries and in multiple languages..... can someone give me some direction on how a single datastore can be pulled out and displayed in multiple languages and then those data inputs from multiple languages can be stored in their native language?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a web forms application that needs to support multiple languages based on a user's preference. Here are some considerations to keep in mind about the needed solution:
I want to avoid using resource files to store the different text translations because I'd like the ability to change them without having to recompile and deploy the application.
Also the translations ideally need to be adminstratable.
It seems its a considerable amount of effort to add this support to an existing application.
I want my web application to support multiple langauges like english,german,etc
Is there a way we can do this in visual studio or is ther any other way
I am getting funny characters when trying to use the text in foreign languages, it comes with # and numbers in between.I am using getraw<string> to get the raw string. How can i use this on aspx page?

i am creating a website in 4 languages. all the labels and buttons should chage as per the users choice. the language details should not be hard coded and it has to come from the databse for each language. Instead of doing it manually(depends upon the language selection fetch the data from the databse and show the labels etc) do we have any inbuild Techno ledge to achieve this in a faster way.

For Examplel(English, Chinees,German...)
Need any Detailed Example.
i do have more than one language being supported on my website and currently working with localization, which raises some question marks to me.
guess, i have the following line(s) of code for a button:
<asp:button id="btnSubmit" style="left: 245px; position: absolute; width:100px"
onclick="OnBtnSendClicked" runat="server" text="Submit" tabindex="5">
</asp:button>
i do want to have 'text="Submit"' exchanged against something like
<%=GetGlobalResourceObject("Lokalisierung", "resSubmit")%>
as i am working with global resources. however this does not work as the button.text is filled with '<%=GetGlobalResourceObject("Lokalisierung", "resSubmit")%>' (without '').
note: 'Lokalisierung.resx' is my resource file already existing and perfectly working for other "things" here.
what is the correct syntax here?
how non English language input works with asp.net textboxes.
1. Can a regular asp.net textarea or a textbox accept text from languages other than English?
2. If yes, then how does the user enter non English language text
3. Is there a way to detect what language the user has entered text and make UI changes accordingly. (Ex: Make a button visible if non English text is entered)
4. Can non English text be stored in a varchar column in a SQL Server database? If not, how do I store this text?

now i need to create a class that read the xml file and create some function that return the words like:
Language.Title() will return the Title word as string
I am developing a multi language site that has 40 languages. The database is relatively small both data and table Count.I need to display the contents in 40 different languages.should I translate the content and store the translated data in the database (40 different times)?
should I translate the content at runtime using a translation service like google translate? or what?its the large number of languages thats scary.
I have two web projecs that use or share some image and localization file (chinese and english).
I don't want to have a copy on each of the project.
Is it possible to share those images and localization file using Satellite Assembly?
I am working on an ASP.net web application, the application need to display text in English, Chinese and Japanese based on the parameters passed, however the culture settings such as currency symbol, time and number format should remain as en-US locale.
My understanding about ASP.Net localization is a package deal, am I wrong? If I am right, the only way to do this is to roll my own solution?
I have addded some different languages into database table column(NText), then im retrieving the data and display it on the Dropdownlist and Gridview but some of the languages(like Korea, Japan) displays as boxes.
View 12 RepliesI am trying to create a button with text in 2 languages English and Bengali.
I hav created two resource files for each of them.In the English I have written 'Hello' as the value for the key and for the
bengali I copied the word from google.
But when I paste I only see squares in the value box of the resource file(not the actual fonts).
This is despite the fact that I have installed Bengali fonts on the machine.
What is the problem?

View 2 RepliesWe are developing products that will be used in the following way:
Various shared libraries which may be used by multiple products. I anticipate these libraries will mostly need to access string resources that contain error messages/exceptions. Various end-user based applications, designed to run as standalone apps on a PC. They will be required to support multiple languages upon deployment/installation.
Various web-sites which may be required to support multiple languages either at deployment time or possibly at runtime (i.e. minimal or zero downtime). Potentially the site might need to support multiple languages at the same time if being accessed globally.
We may be required to allow customers access to our language files for editing themselves. We would not wish to allow them access to our source code (other than the resource files/dlls) in order to achieve this. We might need to incorporate a facility to log exceptions in our native language (English in this case) and display them in the translated language. This will us debug our customers solutions in the field.
I am already aware of products like RCWinTrans and handling multiple languages in VC++/MFC applications. However, the requirements we are faced with here are more extensive and thus require us to make a few up front decisions that could be difficult to change long term, so ideally we want to make the best choice now. Based on my own knowledge, I have a few questions although I may be missing some tricks with .net that will be happily received. Here are my questions:
What would be best? Put all our resources in a seperate DLL per VS solution OR put the resources in each VS project. The way I see it per solution is easier to manage, modify, and allow customer access. The per project solution seems cleaner though and makes the individual projects more portable. This method would apply to our shared library based solutions as well as our end-application based solutions.
Is it possible to have two seperate resource files loaded at once i.e. if we want to log the exceptions in English but supply them back up the food chain (as a message in an exception) in the translated language? Are there any tricks we can use to automate this like AOP?
I want a program that can keep track of all components that need translation (labels, strings, fields), and then I can give the pieces to a person to translate and gather the translated text back into to the program and it will compile all of the text into a new application in the foreign language. I did find Sisulizer (a localization tool) but it doesnt work with Asp.net Controls properly.
View 4 RepliesI am a little bit of confused here. I translated resx files to lots of languages, and I am looking for the best way to allow user to select it's language.I think that maybe a country selection would be better then a language selection. what do you think?I have a .resx file translation of about 100 languages. What is missing now is an easy to use DropDownList with flags (auto population according to the resx files)I am looking for an easy way to associate the DropDownlList.SelectedIndex to the CultureInfo property, so user will be able select the corect language.Since this is a common use, Is there a ready to use control doing so?
View 2 RepliesI have two tables (Person and Location) In the Dynamic Data Site, when adding Location info, I am need to choose a person from the dropdown box which is populated via a FK. That dropdown box defaults to the field in "Person" that is titled "fname" which is first name, so it looks like "Jim" or "Steve".
I'm trying to have that dropdown box display the full name of the person it references which would be combining the fields fname and lname.
Would I do this inside a Field Template? Metadata? I'm kind of stuck on this.
If I look at the FieldTemplate for ForeignKey_Edit I see this:
[code]...
and it seems like I should be able to make something similar to "PopulateListControl" and use that instead, but I have no idea where this method even resides.
I'm looking into using the OutputCache-attribute for my ASP.NET MVC website. However, my website is using resources (*.res-files) to display two different languages (based on the user's settings in a cookie and/or database setting). Is there any way I can cache actions for my two languages separately?
Setting a "VaryByHeader" isn't gonna cut it since I have lots of visitors so every second visitor has probably another language set than the visitor before him. This would cause the cached action/page to always be updated since it's a different language.
I am part of a development team building a new ASP.NET 3.5 web application. Two of us are C# coders, and the other is a VB.NET coder.
I know that we can mix languages on a per-project basis, and one can build classes in one language that inherit from classes written in the other language in a different project (which we are already doing), but I can see us getting into a situation where we might well end up with cyclic dependencies between our various project DLLs.
Other than simply having a high number of projects (more seperation of concerns into more libraries), how have you managed this situation on your own projects?
Note - I believe this question to be different enough from the only similar match I could find (this one) on the basis that we are not wanting to use different languages in order to take advantage of their specific features per se, but rather to make use of what developer resource is available to us (i.e. one dev just happens to be VB.NET only).
i am going to develop search engine portal before enter into home page select the language. i used to display content english or malayalam
so once page is opened popup will be there . user has to select the language then display it in selected language.
I am creating a website for an international organization. The initial default page provides a list of languages for the user to select from, but then every page thereafter must be created at runtime with every text field inserted with the selected language. I am using tables in an SQL Server database that provides the translations for every text field on every page. My question is: How do I create a new web page at runtime that is seen by the user in the proper language? I know how to go from one web page to another existing web page. I just do not know how to transfer execution to a new web page.
View 7 RepliesCurrently my ASP.Net MVC website uses forms authentication is set up like this my web.config:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="en/User/Signin" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
We have some routing rules that use the prefix /en/ in the url as a identifier for the language, but the problem is that if someone is visiting our french site [URL], they are redirect to [URL], which in turn sets the culture to english. So after logging in, users may need to change there language back to french.
So if the website need to suppurt more languages, so I need to do something like this in the web config:
[code]....
I know you can not have code in the web.config, but this is just to illustrate what I am trying to achieve. Could anyone provide a simple solution, or links to solutions they may already use?
