Localization How To Questions...

[NitLions]

Hi all,

I've searched the forum and found some posts, mostly older, regarding localization. I'm just wondering if someone out there has had to localize their project and if so, how did they go about doing it.

Was it something along the lines of using variables for all the displayed text strings, grab the OS language setting and display then accordingly?

I will probably have to undertake this task Q1 of '12 so I thought I would start searching for some help now. Any how to pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

A solution could be to get the language code in use in the system (using System.GetDefaultLangID) and have language text strings stored in external INI or XML files (maybe named with the respective language code).

This way can be very useful when adding other localizations to your app.

You mean somthing like...

Store all the needed UI strings in INI/XML, then run Preload script to set any variables and control attributes?
