I've used a very interesting article (which i recommend, you can see it here :http://adamyan.blogspot.com/), and i've started to localize my asp net mvc2 site.However, i've come to a point where i don't know if it would be possible to do something else, or if i just have to do it this way The thing is, most of the pages are text and links and stuff. In general, all of the links i have them using some markup and calling the Html.ActionLink (for example). So, if i'm translating a page that has 20 links, i would have to split all of those texts into 20 entries in the resx file (and the Html.ActionLink text would have to have its own resx entry, of course). I find this a little bit unpractical. Is there a way to just copy the whole contents, and make some intermediary parse the tags in the resx file and call the appropriate code?
I have worked on many localized sites in the past, using mainy some standard patterns and techniques involving Global/Local RESX files as well as session to maintain currently selected language.
However, it is quite difficult to maintain from a translator point of view, we used a small tool that converts RESX to Excel and then the localized Excel back to RESX, but for some reason this technique doesnt work properly anymore...
better and more reliable tools (paid or free) that can be used to localize RESX and provide translation team a better/easier way to localize content?
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:
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?
I have a multilanguage application and I use resource files (.resx). I hired a person to make the translation. My question is, am I supposed to give him the resource files in order to make the translation and how he will open the resource files? Obviously, he doesn't have a copy of Visual Studio! Is there any tool that I can give him in order to work with the resource files?
Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "MessagesResource.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_Web_eerdggo8" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.
I have an ASP.NET3.5 (C#) ASPX page that is internationalized in 10 different languages.
The page is very complex in its structured with dozens of nested views driven by a state machine pattern.
EDIT: I am using the meta:resourcekey syntax in every asp control, which allows to use declarative syntax for Implicit Resource expressions.
I have been asked to "brand" the page based on some query string parameter. Branding will mean not just loading different CSS files, but also having different text blurbs (in all languages).
Is there an easy way to "swap" resx files without having to get resources manually for each of the hundreds of literals and images that I have on this page?
In other words, let's say I have the following RESX files:
I have the intranet application project with using properties.resources class. There is a resources.resx file.Now I have generated using resgen.exe from txt file into different languages resx file, e.g. resources.Fr.resx...( resgen fr.txt resources.Fr.resx)How to apply resources.resx or resources.Fr.resx into the program with setting and configuration??e.g. In resources.designer.cs, it has culture setting. Is it related?
I'm using resx files to localize my asp.net 2.0 application. As it's freeware I need the help of many users translating it for free. I don't want to use automatic translation as there are my special terms which need to be translated exactly.Is there somewhere an online tool where resx-files could be translated? My users might have different operating systems, so having an online tool would be the best to find new users translating the pages.
I was just wondering guys, how did you manage to update website's content with resx(resources) files.Did you manage user's database with connection, accessing to this page. I need to make a poll as well, should I use sharepoint or c# with a database?
Or, are all the .resx files placed directly inside App_GlobalResources? If it is possible to use subfolders, how do you programmatically access resources within subfolders?
I was wondering if there are any free/OS resx files for phrases commonly used among websites. For instance, we all use save/submit/retry/cancel/etc. and I'd be surprised if there wasn't a library out there with these standard phrases in multiple languages.
I'm contributing on an I18N project and there's a call to serialize our *.resx files as JSON objects (for whatever reason).
What I'm wondering is:
Is there a way to get a list of all of the valid keys for a given *.resx file so that we could use HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject to grab the tokens? If that won't work, has anyone come up with a clever solution that does?
I 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?
Google Language Translation API but am struggling on two levels. I have read the support notes http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlang...ion/#Translate And can get the example to work where the details are hard coded and it displays the translation on load.However I am struggling to figure out how to make it work passing in parameters and on button click. Code: <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> google.load("language", "1"); function initialize() { google.language.translate('hello', 'en', 'es', function(result) { if (!result.error) { var container = document.getElementById("translation"); container.innerHTML = result.translation; }
I have a SQL query in a SQL Data Source that retruns the first photo in a photo group for multiple groups I'm puttting them in a ListView
whem a user selects a photo all the photos in that group come up in another ListView and they can viev the complete album
I'm using Linq query in the ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged event handler to load the secound List view I want to use a LINQ
query in the page load for the first ListView I need to translate this query to Linq
SELECT MIN(PlantId) AS PlantId, MIN(ImageUrl) AS ImageUrl, MIN(Description) AS Description, MIN(ThumbUrl) AS ThumbUrl, MIN(Country) AS Country, MIN(State) AS State, MIN(City) AS City, MIN(Region) AS Region, GroupId AS GroupId, MIN(ImageIpAddress) AS ImageIpAddress[code]....
I am looking for a web service or an API that I can use to translate text from one language to the other.The size of the text will be limited to 10,000 characters. I understand that Google and Babelfish have websites to do this. But I need to integrate it as a part of my web application.
I am trying to determine if it is possible to add a concatenated string to one of my local .resx files. This example should clarify:
Let's say I have a simple ASP.NET webpage composed of (1) a label whose text is an important keyword (2) an input with required field validation and (3) a button that causes validation to occur:
Now, inside the resource file for this page, we want to localize the strings for the page's controls. However, for our error message, we want to use the literal name of the input's label. This is were my question is.
PSEUDOCODE: myPage.resx
(1) lblMyInput.Text = "Name" (2) rfvMyInput.ErrorMessage = "The " + lblMyInput.Text + " field may not be left blank." (3) btnSubmit.Text = "Submit/Validate"
Is there any way to pull off this type of concatenation of one resource file's string into another string within the same file?
I'm conducting a project in which a website should have multi-language support.Now, this website is supposed to serve about 500K+ visitors a day, so it must be super-efficient.
I've created a table of parameters {[ID],[Name]} AND a linkage-table {[objectID],[parameterID],[languageID],[value]}. I think it's the best way to deploy multi-language support while having the privilege to translate different parameters for each language.
As far as I know, server's memory is much faster than a physical HDD. Therefore, I'm planning to store ASP.NET Application State objects for my translation architecture.[URL]
I have a asp.net resouce language file in english and I have to translate that resource file into french. how can this be achieved? There are lot of values on the resource file that needs to be translated.
is there any sample available on how this can be done by using google language translation or something?
I get this run time error "no supported translation to SQL".
What i want is to get lists of the posts, and do a small quick calculations of the rating and then sort those from highest to low and take 5 posts only.
There's an issue I'm having in several areas of my ASP.NET site, but am using the following as an example. If I can get it solved, then I'm reasonably sure it has applications elsewhere.Let's say I have a gridview based on the aspnet_membership table. Its LINQ datasource is aspnet_membership, which exists in my datacontext.By itself, it works GREAT in the grid.However, showing UserId in and of itself doesn't have much meaning; I wanted to include UserName.So, in my Public Partial Class, I created a read-only property UserName:
[Code]....
This retrieves and displays the correct data, no problem there.However, I'm not able to sort on that new column. When I attempt to do so, I get the following error: The member 'aspnet_Membership.UserName' has no supported translation to SQL.A workaround is, of course, to use a Sql datasource. But as I'm learning more about LINQ and the partial classes, I want to learn how to do it the correct way.
