Internationalization Library for ASP.NET Applications

Question

I am writing a web application in ASP.NET (2.0), VS2005. The main reason for developing a new application (instead of using ready-made ready-made solutions) is that I need full support for at least two languages ​​(this is the interface and data). I am looking for the best ways to solve i18n in ASP.NET (it can only be a user interface, sorting DB is easier). Obviously, .NET provides its own i18n mechanisms, and I used them before, but not very impressed - in my opinion, this is not the same as gettext that I used in several large open source projects in C ++ and Java . I am looking for a solution that satisfies the following requirements:

• all translations collected in one place
• adding new languages ​​will be easy.
• the translation does not require VS and can be performed by rather inexperienced users (translators).
• discovery of available languages
• changes to source lines are easily cascaded into existing translations
• support for multiple forms (ngettext)

(more ideas?)

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you have against regular Globalization and Localization , which you already mentioned that you already used.

Localization .Net has proven itself in the projects that I used, without changing the basic principles. How exactly does it not suit you?

For example, the listed functions can be performed using the ASP.Net globalization infrastructure.

• (.resx). .
• , . .
• Visual Studio . (.resx) - XML. , .
• , "" .
• Plurals, , , .

It uses rules from CLDR without using CLDR XML files or ICU DLLs. Eveything (logic and rules) are implemented as C # library files. Very easy to use.

var message = MultiPattern.Format("one;I have {0} car;other;I have {0} cars", cars);

When translator is localized, as many templates can be provided as the target language requires.
