Designing Multilingual Websites with ASP.net

[Anthony J Biondo Jr.]

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 Biondo

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 ;)
