Managing Multiple Languages In A Web Application?
Apr 19, 2010
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 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.

We 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'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.

A friend and I manage a large website for a company. The site is build using Visual Studio 2005 and is a series of nested web applications run inside a master application employing nested master pages. Currently we have to manually move files around folders and FTP them to various servers and I am looking for a way to be able to manage the deployment end of the site in a more automated fashion. I'd like to be able to work on my local version of a project and once I'm done be able to hit one button and publish the site to our internal testing server and then when testing is complete hit another button to deploy it to the live web servers. Right now we have to manually navigate the windows folders and copy pages, css files, images, swfs, etc and FTP them manually. The driver for this is that we have a new junior develop starting and want to remove the manual aspect in advance of him starting.

I am sorry if this is been discussed earlier. I am having a problem maintaining the session when someone uses the same browser with multiple tab, the results gets messed up. A perfect example would be, [URL] if you open IE (or any other browser) and open two tabs and search for two different air travel itinerary and the results will completely overlapped (real mess). I know the cause for this problem (both tabs uses the same session). I would appreciate if somebody have any solution for this. I am using ASP.NET 3.5/VS 2008/VB.NETI will not be able to use Viewstate since I use a master page and pre-init event where view state is not available.

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.

Currently 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?

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?

I have scoured the web and have yet to find and example that matches my requirements.
What I have is an existing multi-tenant asp.net application where all users authenticate against a single SQL Server database. This database also contains several other settings type data that is used within the application. Each client after authentication, utilizes thier own SQL Server database for data storage, for isolation purposes. Essentially all of the client database are identical and reside on the same server, but reside on one or more servers as well.
The application is currently written in asp.net 2.5 framework and utilizes the Micrsoft Practices Enterprise Library for DAL. Wnd we are looking to migrate to 4.0 and implement NHibernate to replace the MPEL.
I have implemented a solution already using NHibernate and the 4.0 framework, so I am familar with the concepts. I found the resources for my current session manager here as a matter of fact. But that application only had a single database, so not much too it.
The implementation is essentially what you see here:
[URL]
The other solutions that I have seen multiple config entries and/or files to manage this, but that is not desireable, since we may add new clients frequently and all of the connection information is already maintained in the authentication database.
[code]....

I have an application that uses resource files to display items in multiple languages. My app uses quote a lot of javascript and the alerts need to display in the local language. To do this, I have created an http handler which will read the keys and values of the culture-specific resource file and write them to a JSON array which is then embedded in the page in a script tag, the messages can then be accesses using, for exmaple:
Message.Error (en-GB = "Error", fr-FR = "Erreur")
The messages http handler works great in development, however when I run the application on a test server, I get the error: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Resources.Alerts.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.b0n9j90e" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed. The code that I use to acccess the resource file is:
ResourceManager manager = Resources.Alerts.ResourceManager;
ResourceSet resourceSet= Resources.Alerts.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, true, true);
Where Resources.Alerts is the type that contains my multi-lingual definitions. The build action for the Alerts.resx file is set to "Embedded Resource". Any ideas why this works locally but not on my test server, am I missing something?

a.) There will be six different app domain in a single OS process
b.) There will three app domain(one for each application) in a single OS process and some Parallel thread will be executed in each app domain for another instance.
c.) There will be Three OS process corresponding to each application.
3.) If eveything will remain same except there are three web application in place of windows in point 2, will there be any change in functioning.

I am creating a web page that will pretty much persist - no postbacks - using jQuery.
I'm going to talk to the page with web services.
So I was thinking that when the user first gets the webpage I give them a GUID that they have to pass back to me with every future call to web services.
I'll simply save the GUID in a table in my MS SQL database and by grabbing that record from the db I could potentially get all my user specific data - user id - permission levels - whatever.
I can make the session row expire after like 10 hours - or something like that - so that they don't get the same session tomorrow simply by forgetting to close the browser window at the end of the work day.

I've half written an app which has just one model for adding and editing a particular entity.I am trying to embrace modelmetadata and where possible reduce my form code to just calls for EditorForModel. One of the key issues I am having it managing the
differences between a add and update scenario.
Take "User" editing for example, in an Add scenario I want "Password" to be a required field, in an update scenario I dont' want it to be a required field. The model-centric approach would have me create two models, one for adding and one for editing. My
edit model wouldn't have the Required attribute on the Password field. My feeling is this is going to create a bit too much plumbing.
Besides having a rather massive amount of automapping going on there is another more irrititating issue. Strongly typed views. I could... maybe see my way to having a different model for create and edit, using inheritance i could.. maybe mitigate the amount of code required. What I can't abide is having to have two seperate views, as I have already coding myself into a wall with strongly typed views I couldn't share add and edit (based on my understanding) scenarios with one view.
So anyway I was wondering what other peoplle are doing to manage this? Working with an outsourced (Indian) developers it would be great to make use of EditorForModel as I want them writing as little code as possible.

Currently we are using WebFormsMVP to allow better testability in our project. The framework does presenter binding in OnInitComplete and relies heavily on DataBind expressions e.g.
<asp:Label Text="<%#Model.FirstName%>" runat="server" />
As i understand above article this would put Model.FirstName into ViewState. Because databinding happens late during page lifecycle when viewstate tracking is already enabled.
One option would be to disable ViewState altogether. Are there any other? Remeber, we can't use OnInit or OnInitComplete, because OnLoad is the first event presenters can handle.
