• Localize UI of WinForms forms, which are used in project:
  • For each WinForms form in project:
    • Open WinForms form in WinForms designer of Visual Studio.
    • Set the "Localizable" property of the form to True.
    • Set the "Language" property of the form from the "(Default)" language to the desired language, for example Spanish, => designer will create FormName.es.resx file that contains information about Spanish localization of the form
    • Localize UI elements of form and information about localization will be saved to the FormName.es.resx file.
• Localize string constants, which are used in source codes of project:
  • Create "Localization" folder in the project
  • Add resource file with name "Strings.resx" to the "Localization" folder
  • For each constant string in project code:
    • Add constant string to the Strings.resx resource file.
    • Replace constant string in the project code by the code that access constant string in the Strings.resx resource file.

All VintaSoft WinForms demo projects have English language localization.

• Localize UI of WinForms forms, which are used in project as written above in instructions for localization of any WinForms project.
• Localize string constants, which are used in source codes of project:
  • Create copy of "Localization\Strings.resx" file => "Strings - Copy.resx" and "Strings - Copy.Designer.cs" files will be created.
  • Delete file "Strings - Copy.Designer.cs".
  • Rename file "Strings - Copy.resx" to the "Strings.es.resx" file.
  • Open "Strings.es.resx" file in resource designer of Visual Studio and translate string constants from English language to Spanish language.
