Dear all,

We are bulding an application whcih is multilanguage based
with the help of ressources.
All language ressources will belongs to the same assembly.

Now the idea is that I I need to get text translated in
russian, as i do not speak and write russian at all, I
would like to be able to send my customer the ressource
file in order he can edit it and translate it for me.
Then when he send me the file back I implemenet it in my
applciation.

Is there such a way to edit ressource file easily without
using ressource editor?

thanks for your help
Regards
Serge
 
hi serge,

which version of visual studio are you using?

with vs.NET and later, resource files are xml files. i don't know what
technical abilities your customer has, but if he can use an xml editor to
open and edit the resource file, it shouldn't be too complicated. an
example resource file from vs.net 7.1 would contain entries like this:

<data name="FileNotFoundError">
<value>"The file '{0}' was not found."</value>
</data>

and the {0} could be substituted with the actual filename. if you could
give your customer a copy of your resource file and have him translate each
of the values for you, you'd be set.

let me know if you have any other questions.

jeff.
