Solving the Search Results problem when using the free MMLinks localiz

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:12:30 GMT

With the free MMLinks DotNetNuke module, you can replace your standard Text/HTML modules with fully localizable ones, localizing both the title and the Text/HTML part. With one slight defect: Since DotNetNuke's search indexer doesn't know anything about the localized titles, it insists on presenting the default, non-localized module title in the Search Results page (that would be "MMLinks" if you leave it intact).

Localization Like the Pros

Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:31:01 GMT

Learn to globalize, localize, and internationalize using culture and region. Excerpt: NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter was lost on September 23, 1999 at a cost of $125 million because one engineering team used metric units, while another one used inches for a key spacecraft operation. When writing applications for international distribution, different cultures and regions must be kept in mind. Different cultures have diverging calendars and use different number and date formats, and also the sort order with the letters A-Z may lead to various results. To make applications fit for global markets you have to globalize and localize them. Globalization is about internationalizing applications: preparing applications for international markets. With globalization, the application supports number and date formats depending on the culture, different calendars, and so on. Localization is about translating applications for specific cultures. For translations of strings, you can use resources. .NET supports globalization and localization of Windows and Web applications. To globalize an application you can use classes from the namespace System.Globalization; to localize an application you can use resources that are supported by the namespace System.Resources.
