Useful .NET (.resx) localization tips
Primary recommendations on how to prepare your application for localization in Crowdin.
When developing your application and writing texts always keep in mind that your texts in many languages may be much longer than they appear in English. According to the latest research, Russian texts are 35% longer than the same material in English. On the other hand, Chinese texts are usually 30% shorter.
If your ASP.NET application were not developed with the intent to localize it, you would also need to make some modifications:
- Nib files (resources including buttons, menus, windows) must be modified so translated text can fit;
- Dynamic strings generated by your application at runtime must be formatted using current locale information;
- Static strings must be translated;
- Pictures, icons and other graphics must be changed to be culturally appropriate;
- Text handling code must calculate word breaks using current locale information;
You can find more information on how to prepare your application in the "ASP.NET MVC Complete Localization Guide" or just contact us to get assistance. You can also pseudo-localize your application with Crowdin to find potential localization problems.
