Localization - How To Support Multiple Languages In A Web Application
Jul 15, 2010
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.

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 am little confused regarding the concepts of localisation and globalization.I was working on a project which was totally database driven. All the data, images and flash stuff was coming from the database. Now the site is fully loaded with the data.Now the client wants the currently running site in 5 different languages. So I read the resource files concept. Now the confusion arises. I have 2 types data on the site, one is static(ie text on labels, titles, buttons) and dynamic data that was added from the admin panel.Now my question is: If at this stage I want to make the site in 5 different languages, then I have to make the resource files for all those languages so that the static data can be displayed in different languages.But what about the dynamic data that was entered by the client. Client uploaded huge amount of data. Should I make the changes in the database tables and add 4 other columns for different languages and again upload that much data in those 4 languages.

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).

We are developing a web solution for our clients to handle their business processes. With reality in check, clients' requirements change over time; sometimes adding a new field, changing the calculation logic etc. When it was still a small scale solution, whenever an upgrade occurs, we will upgrade any existing data to the latest change i.e by having a empty property for it. I would admit this isn't the best of scenarios as old products that previously don't possess certain properties are now 'new' again which doesn't reflect the product correctly.
I am looking for a solution to introduce versioning to this solution before things get out of hand. What I've come up with is like this:
Realising that data is semi-structured (it changes from time to time), we've decided to go with an XML / XSLT approach. Storage of the data will be a mix of columns storing individual properties (e.g. ProductID, ProductName, VersionNumber) and XML columns that holds XML data to cater to fields that will change.
These XML and XSLT will have version numbers to tell the system which version of XML works with the other.Logic wise, we were thinking of developing our business logic to support multiple versions so that old products will still be calculated using old algorithms while new ones will use the new algo. For old products, besides updating them using the old algorithm, we will allow an 'upgrade' option so that they can be upgraded to the new version if they want to. Database wise will remain unchanged since we will store fields that are to be changed in XML form so extending fields should be catered for.
Would like you guys out there to comment on such a setup. I'm concern about performance since some fields are stored as XML, retrieving it will require extra steps, hence the reason why we decided some consistent fields should be on their own for searching purposes etc. Also, would doing multiple versioning like this get really big on the logic side as the program grows?

I have a page with two textboxes (one for english and one for korean)..
I want users to be able to enter an english word or enter a korean word...
Now I can only enter english in both of them... Even if my keyboard language is switched to Korean.. I can not type in Korean in the Korean text box....
I thought I could simply change this using something like:

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.

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?

we are building a multi-tenant application, which will support that each tenant can have a unique top level domain, the application is build using the asp.net 3.5 and SQL servr 2005, while each tenant will have different database. I have seen a number of questions about the similar applications on the StackOverFlow, but none of them is related to the Testing, I want to know is how one can test the application in a development environment, specially How can we test that each customer connects to his own DB based on the URL. how can we emulate different domains on the local system. like [URL] and [URL]all goes to dev machine's IIS.

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 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 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?

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?

We have some software that works with a sql database, our customers want to use japanese characters. When they try and use it with our softare and save the characters through a form, the characters get corrupted. They have said that if we change the charater encoding in our database that we can save jap characters. What im workdering is if we do this will it affect the current data and do our forms have to be rewritten to handle these characters?

I have developed a asp.net website.Now what i want is that it should be multilingual.I don't want a page to be multilingual.I want the whole website to be multilinual.I used the Culture settings as
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("zh-HK"); System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("zh-HK");
This is the setting i used for the culture but my website didn;t got converted.I searched a lot on google but not able to find any solution.Also the resource files process a bit too hard Please let me know how i can achieve this.Using some free third party tool or some jquery or some javascript code or some asp.net implementations which i can complete quickly.

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?

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.
