Windows Client Videos

Hi Todd,

I am new to WPF and am njoying and learning a lot from your videos.

I noticed that the NameFormTitle did not display the Spanish translation after the CultureUI was changed.  This textblock had it's text bound in the XMAL to the NameFormStrings resource file.

How can we change the binding to look at the resource file associated with the current CultureUI setting?

Many Thanks,

Jayesh

I believe it's because he set the culture on the UI thread *after* the XAML had been parsed. The NameFormTitle was set in XAML and the rest in code-behind.

I presume that if he set the culture on the machine and re-ran the app, all of the text would have been changed.

Thank you Mike.  Your feed-back is much appreciated.

Jayesh, Mike is correct try the following:

In the code behind file change

InitializeComponent();

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");

to

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");

InitializeComponent();

Now it should work.

Excellent, works a treat, thank you John.

I have just one minor and not-so-important note:  The "foreign" language (the text) used is Italian not Spanish. ...a minor slip up.  

I thank you for your work in providing us with this example/demonstration.

Very helpful.  The localization language codes were Spanish.  However the language used was Italian, not Spanish.

Same results here,

The CurrentUICulture must be set before the call to InitializeComponent().

public MainWindow()

{          

           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");  

           InitializeComponent();

}

//Nice to know about setting the Access Modifier to "Public" in the Resource File to generate static properties that can be used using the {x:Static .. } notation in XAML.

Great video. Thanks.
