Multilanguage Applications

Tosch · May 7, 2004

I have to write a multilanguage application with the following
criteria:

- The language code can be set in a config file or similar. I don't
want .NET do decide which language to use. This way it's possible to
run say a french version of my app on an italian Windows.

- add new language versions to the application without need to
recompole

- minimal coding requirement

Does anyone have a sample application or ideas how to approach this?

That can certainly be done, as long as you save your localized resources in
satellite assemblies and load the locale say from your .config file. Check
out how to use satellite assemblies in the MSDN docs and here are a few
links as well:
