Multilingual Support

[ganraj]

Hello,

Does anybody know how to implement multilingual support in vb application?

By selecting a language like Arabic through a menu option,Arabic is enabled and the textbox controls in a form should change from left to right. Arabic interface for the Keyboard is enabled and whatever typed is set from left to right.


Can anybody help..

You can use 'Resource file'
for an example: use 'New project -> VB application wizard.
Here you can select 'Use resource file for strings' and then you can make multiple languages.

Of course, if you want to support the writing going form left to right, or from right to left, I think you should write it your own.

Maybe a common function that 'translate' text from one direction to another

To change it from Left to Right to Right to Left, set the RightToLeft property available on most controls to True, and optionally, the Alignment property to Right Aligned.
