Using in WinForms

Gettex.NET in WinForms

Xgettext utility extract not only strings from GetString() calls. All settings of "Text" properties will be taken in account and added into PO template file.

label1.Text = "My string";

The GNU.Gettext.WinForms.dll contains "Localizer" class that can be used to translate all text properties of the controls on the form including sub-controls. Localizer can also revert translated text values to their original state.

// Place it in form constructor or in OnLoad() event handler
GNU.Gettext.GettextResourceManager catalog = new GettextResourceManager("Examples.HelloForms.Messages");
GNU.Gettext.WinForms.Localizer.Localize(this, catalog);
