Baiscally I have Nvar data in a database and I want to populate a datgridview
in french.

I understand the basics of globalization and have done a bit but not on the
data level.

Can anyone point me to the right resources to start understanding this
concept of language translation of data.
 
Sean,

You suppose to see data in French without any additional steps. Do you have
any specific issue?
 
No specific issue we are playing with the idea of international markets and
wonder if we can take a database with English written data and convert it to
another language.

The reason we are looking into do this is basically my understanding that
this is exactly what Unicode is for which is why I was the one who brought up
the idea. However, I am still somewhat vague as to what Unicode actually does
and how.

So I post here hoping for links to information becuase when I search I get a
feeling I dont even fully understand what I am searching for.
 
Sean,

I would expect that you could have issues on a server side. You need to be
sure that database supports specific language. On a client side all the
strings are in Unicode format and you suppose to see everything properly

So in theory if I set my localizations properly in my web.config file my
datagrid will automatically translate to the proper language?

I tried that but I didnt put anything on the website that would confirm I
set it right (ie a date)
