Hi
I am trying to convert my web application in different languages so that people from different regions can also get benifit from my application. But the problem is that i have to translate the variables of each and every page into different languages which is taking alot of time. Can any body suggest me a better and quick solution for it. Is there any automatic way to convert the language?

Thanks

That google translation gadget looks very impressive but I have no idea what quality the translation is going to end up being.

I would recommend moving all of your prompts into resx files. Once you've done that send all of the prompts off to a translation company and they will "automatically" translate the words for you! (Depending on the company translations can range from 10cents to 25cents per word CAN dollars). This will save you a lot of time and will probably be a lot more "correct" than any automated translation tool.

I've learned that the subtle differences in language translations are very important to pay attention to. It could mean the difference between being vulgar and polite depending on the culture/region of the language.

Although the google translation gadget is very cool (I'd check it out), I would probably advise against it if your application is being used for professional purposes.

Hi,
if good applications, software and websites are in multiple languages this will help the software and websites become popular and more user friendly.
one thing we must note that culture sensitive and accurate translations of any language is very important because every language has its own structure, grammar and its identity so when one use inbuilt application to translate the web page or software into other language human intelligence and cultural understanding of language will miss out and some times resulted into changed context or meaning of the sentence/paragraph.
which may lead to bad feelings by native speaker of that translated language.
so i suggest to use a language translation service provider company <link removed> because they are specialized in language translation and very accurate in this .
