Hi there,
I am trying to follow this guide
( http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/20...lAppsInNet.asp)
with regards to creating a multi language application.
I want to offer 2 languages at the beginning - English and Spanish.
My question is, do I need to embed the resource file for each language
inside my main app?
Or is there a way of loading these dynamically at the start of the
application. I see the satellite dll seems to support this but would this
mean that someone could technically provide another dll with different items
in there... Is there anyway to protect a satellite dll or would I be better
just embedding the resource files in VS.NET??
If I embed the resource file into VS.Net that i suppose it would be easier
but if later I decide to offer 15 lanaguage wouldn't this be a performance
issue?
If anybody has any more reference material for doing the above and ideas of
the best way then it would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks in advance

Ian,
What I have done in the past was to create a setup module for each
individual language. It may not be the best solution if you have to quickly
change from a language to another, but avoids the use of satellite DLLs.

If you embed them, then you distroy all the advantages of the satelite DLLs.

Someone can change the embeded resources as well.
You can try to digitally sign the dlls, for instance?
But really, what is the problem if someone changes something in dlls?
It is a resource dll only, no code. What is the use to distribute such thing?
Who would want such a thing?
On the other side, at some point I did edit the resources of some
application, because the dialog sizes where so bad, that was almost useless.
Why waste the time to prevent such things?

I am about to order Visual Studio .NET. We work with the French Canadian

have a question that may sound stupid, but I want to ask it anyway - it's
about localization and culture:

Hello,
I have the following situation when trying to localize my software:
I have BIG solution with about 80 projects. In one of the projects I
have a number of dialogs (the dialog project :-) ). I have decided
that I do not want to use the "form"-mechanism (using the property
"localized=true") for localization since the strings I show are not
that "constant" during the life time of the dialog. Thus, I have to
put the resources in...

Hello,
I've written a little program in C# to test localization. It's one form

and English) using localization. In the main function, the culture is set
to dutch, and it all looks fine. But when I change the culture (by pressing
the button), I get a mix of the english resx and the dutch resx. My button
gets duplicated instead of moved, and my label keeps...

Hi there,
WARNING: Long-ish post!
I'm about to undertake an ASP.NET project that requires localisation (2
languages initially, then more).
I have read a little about localization, but have never needed to use it
commercially yet. I'm wandering what the best way to approach localization
is from a technical and also non technical point of view. My first thoughts

I hope someone can give me a clue...
Questions:
1) Do my eyes deceive me or is it true that localization is still totally
utterly disengaged from the Designer and Property Editor... either in source

Hi all,
i have simple question, suppose that we have a ASP.NET web site with
lots of local resource files, we can simple delete all of the resource
files (resx). Question is, how can remove all of the meta keys like

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
