Hello
I'm trying to translate a WPF program.
There are two options in RC-WinTrans:
1. Use the exe as a source.
This produces a .resources.dll file under a folder called after the choosen language (e.g. "en").
How can I choose this language at program startup?
I tried
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en");
in the construcor of the App to no avail.
Is there something else I have to do, or is there a sample available to use this method?
2. Use the xaml files as a source (this would be my preferred way, because I already use RC WinTrans to translate the resource files for C++ and Windows Forms apps).
This produces _en.xaml files for each source file.
How can I now integrate these files into my app?
BTW: I already took a look at the samples in WPFProjects folder. It's not possible to build these projects, because of missing files.
TIA Michael |

I now found a problem, which maybe a bug in RCWinTrans.
In AssemblyInfo.cs Microsoft says:
//In order to begin building localizable applications, set
//<UICulture>CultureYouAreCodingWith</UICulture> in your .csproj file
//inside a <PropertyGroup>.
If I do this, RCWinTrans cannot find any WPF resources in the exe anymore.
If I omit this line the exe crashes immediately. |

You can use RC-WinTrans to prepare a Visual Studio WPF project (the XAML files) with the required "x:Uid" attributes.
Use: "Tools" | "WPF" | ".NET Project update "x:Uid" attributes..."
Select your Visual Studio project file (e.g. for C#: .csproj) . Then rebuild your WPF project to create the assembly (EXE or DLL) newly.
Doesn't do anything.
Running MSBuild.exe ...
C:\Programme\RC-WinTrans\RC-WinTrans 9 Global\WPFProjects\BAMLBuild2010\MSBuild.exe /t:updateuid C:\mist\WpfSprachumschaltung\WpfSprachumschaltung\WpfSprachumschaltung.csproj
Output:

Nothing happens in RC-WinTrans but for your Visual Studio project. RC-WinTrans call the msbuild.exe (Microsoft command line tool) to add the "x:Uid" attributes to your VS project's source XAML files. Check the XAML files -- the elements should have "x:Uid" attribute now.
No, it doesn't add any x:Uid to the elements in xaml.
Shouldn't there be any output message in the RCWinTrans output? |

Our translators in China get the error message
COpenXLIFFFilesystemDBbased::Init: Data file could not be extracted from database! Language: "zh-CHS"
Error (305): The data file (DOM) could not be loaded: "zh-CHS."
What does that mean?
They are using RC-WinTrans 9.1 Translator on a .NET Winforms project translating resx files.
Their statusbar shows translation status of 100%/100%, but if they send us the file, we see that only 83% are translated. |

It seems that RC-WinTrans is not able to start msbuild.exe. => no output and no uids
But putting the following lines into the prebuild event for the project did the trick:
$(MSBuildBinPath)\msbuild /t:updateuid $(ProjectPath)
$(MSBuildBinPath)\msbuild /t:checkuid $(ProjectPath) |

I found the problem:
There were german umlauts in the file and pathnames of the resx files.
All these files could not be translated on a chinese PC.
I understand we shouldn't use these characters, but maybe you could fix this in the next release. |

The problem exists also on a japanese PC.
It's not a problem of the target language, it's a problem of the PC used for tranlation. |

Opening Workspace Modifies fsmdb-Files

I'm using RC-WinTrans 9.2.0.5.
I put multiple projects into one workspace.
If I now open this workspace, RC-WinTrans modifies the fsmdb files of all projects, even if I didn't change anything.
As I use a source control system on these files, this is a bad thing.
Is there a way to tell RC-WinTrans not to modify the fsmdb files, if there was no modification to the translations?
TIA

I'm using the source control system git which doesn't have any check-out feature, so this is not possible. |
