I am trying to design an application that supports multiple languages. I
have seen examples using an XML file and writing a custom function to import
the strings and I have seen examples of resource files. I am trying to see
what other people are using out there so I can decide what direction I am
going to go. Your input is much appreciated.
thanks much,

Anthony,
If you haven't seen them yet, check out my articles which talk about just
this ( http://openmymind.net/localization/index.html, http://openmymind.net/localization/index2.html). I'm clearly not a fan of
resource files, but if this is a small site with only a couple languages, it
might be a good alternative. Anythign else, where there'll be a lot of
content/translation and/or multiple languages, and XML files are the way to
go....

Hello Anthony,
I don't know whether you're developing a client app or web app, but if it's
a web application, you may be intersted in the approach we've taken to this.
It basically uses the same principle as Karl Seguin describes in his post
-localized controls- and extends this to create a content-managebale
multilingual application (or website).
A good example can be found at http://www.directwonen.nl
If you're interested in more background info, please let me know.
Regards,
Daniel Peters

Hey Abhay,
I realize this public message wasn't aimed at me, but I can't pass up an
opportunity to point to my own localized articles and controls, check them
out at: http://openmymind.net/localization/index.html
and http://openmymind.net/localization/index2.html
With any hope those are the ones anthony was refering to anyways ;)

Building Multilingual Portal
I have been assigned a new project to build a multilingual portal using ASP

Server 2000.
To date, all of my Web Solutions use ADO to access data which is stored in
SQL SERVER. Given the need to develop a solution that is very easy to
localize, I wonder if now I should consider instead using XML rather than SQL

Hi all
I have to localize an Access 2002 application: The application using
several form, tables etc. is currently only in English. Now the
frontend has to be bilingual, so the user can choose if he wants the
form content in English or in French. I have never done something like
this before with Access. One way I think would be like that:
- creating a table tblLanguage with the following fields:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
