Default How to Internationalize many Forms? - 11-09-2006 , 01:29 AM






Hi,

I've got an C# application with about 20 forms which I want to
internationalize. Many strings on these forms are the same, e.g.
customer, name, aso.
When I localize one form after the other I get a resx file for each
form. I can't edit the resx files directly. Moreover I see no way to
make a kind of links for these resources (e.g. lableCustomer.Text = link
to Customer string).
So my questions:
Is there a way to have a common resource (resx file) for all forms?
Is there a way of linking to a common resource?
Is there a free (or a rather cheap) tool which might help me?

Thank you

Rudi

Hi Rudi,

You can always put common strings a string resource but it is hard to use
them because you have to manually update the property values on Load event.

I use Sisulizer (www.sisulizer.com). It is rather cheap and makes
localization very easy. It can automatically translate string that have same
values.

I can do this within the program, but not within the forms, as far as I
know

The first impression of this product seems to be good. I am going to
evaluate it.
