I think I'm turning Japanese (old 70's song)

[briancps]

Can anyone point me in the right direction. We have developed an application (Desktop - not Web) which we demonstrated to an international company today. They feel there is a large market for this in Japan where they have quite a large client base. However, they need the text and labels etc to be in Japanese. There is a miniimal amount of text data entered by the user, mostly selections from radio buttons and check boxes. I know no Japanese whattsoever, either spoken or written.

Is there a converison routine by specifiying another language or locale that does this automatically or do I have to get someone to actually recode this in a Japanese install of VB.NET ?

I started browsing Help etc but am not getting very far at this stage. I thought if someone could show me some links - or how I can possibly do this I would appreciate it.

Look at the CultureInfo class and the System.Globalization namespace. There is an article on csharptoday.com about making programs for different cultures, but you have to pay for it. I'll post it when I get home or later today.

Im glad I gave someone a laugh, however I was serious. We have the potential to sell a few thousand copies if we can do it. Thnaks for the other input - it appears we can do it using res files as per the suggestions and using the cultureinfo from the globalisation workspace. if anyone knows of samples or examples I would appreciate it
