Provides an easier way to support multiple user-interface languages in VB.NET. Developer creates user-interface text ad-hoc and in-place, in his or her native language.

NetText is a partial work-alike of GNU gettext (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/). It is simplified to an extreme (eg, not tested with non-European languages), but still very useful - certainly more useful than having no multilingual support at all because it's too much trouble!

See the screenshots for a quick workflow overview, and click "Browse All Files" to view the Readme, which describes the process in more detail.

Features

  • Uses the GNU gettext paradigm - no resource ID codes to maintain
  • Developer creates UI text ad-hoc and in-place: sT_("this is an example")
  • Includes source scanner, translation editor and redistributable DLL (with source code)
  • Scanner utility reads VB.NET projects, extracts marked UI text and creates translation template
  • Optional editor utility for convenient translation
  • (Editor utility pre-alpha feature; interfaces w/ Google Translate)
  • For more info, click "Files" above to see the ReadMe.

Project Samples

1) Code: initialization + UI strings, wrapped in sT_() calls 2) Scan VB.NET project for sT_() calls; make translation template file 3) Translation file (from template) - note 4-line groups: source location, source context, raw string, and translation 4) Optional NetTextEdit: select target language 5) Deploy: place translations under your installed location in a Lang subfolder
