Hello All

 

I am trying to localize my wesbite from English to Spanish. The website is built in Spanish. I have done such work perfectly in a html website but i do not have experience with .net localization. I know only Resource files are need to be translated.

Any useful information guys! :)

 

Kind Regards

Okay.. I googled and went through the forum. I saw something about .resx resource files. Let me tell you what I have: 

1. I have .aspx pages of complete wesbite.

<asp:Label ID="EmpNameLabel" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources: EmpNameLabelText %>"></asp:Label>

<asp:Label ID="EmpNameLabel" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources: EmpNameLabelText %>"></asp:Label>

used instead of:

<asp:Label ID="EmpNameLabel" runat="server" Text="Employee Name"></asp:Label>

 

2. I have professional translators and I am not using Google API's.

3. A little bit of .net C# knowledge.

 

Can you guys help me!

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, besides resources files with all content translated, you'll need some logic if you want change for a language to another and to preserve this choice in all pages, for example,

String lang = Request.QueryString["lang"];
                UICulture = lang;
                // Culture = lang;
                // Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(lang);
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(lang);
                HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("langinfo");
                cookie.Value = lang;
                Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

and set the culture in web.config, so date, currency are presented in spanish background,

hope this help!
