Wisej.NET fully supports localization using .NET and Visual Studio standard localization features.
{% file src="../.gitbook/assets/wisej.localization.zip" caption="Download Wisej.Localization.zip" %}
All top-level controls in Wisej.NET support UI localization.
To enable localization features for a Form, Page, UserControl, or Desktop component:
In design mode, set the Localizable property to true
Once enabled, you can switch languages in the designer
Use the Language dropdown property to select the language for localization:
UI localization allows changing multiple properties per language switch, commonly:
Size
Location
Text
Colors
Wisej.NET supports full localization of system resources including:
MessageBox buttons
Calendar control labels (month/day names)
Standard numeric, percentage and currency formatting/parsing
Numeric, Percentage, Date, and Currency
Handled automatically for all supported languages worldwide.
Date Labels: Months and Day Names
Handled automatically for all supported languages worldwide.
System Resources
Wisej.NET system resources are localized in:
Beyond system localization, you'll likely need to localize application resources (strings, images, etc.).
Create .resx files as needed using the approach above. See .
Use the class to retrieve localized values. Wisej.NET handles thread culture switching for client requests.
Wisej.NET automatically detects browser language and switches application/system resources accordingly.
You can force a specific language for the application (user session) by:
Setting the culture property in Default.json (default is "auto"). See .
Using one of these methods:
Assign Application.CurrentCulture property
When current culture changes from the session's initial culture, Wisej.NET raises the Application.CultureChanged event.
Designer-localized controls update only at creation. No built-in mechanism exists to change already-created controls. To update existing controls either:
Re-create the container and call InitializeControl
English
German
French
Italian
Turkish
Spanish
Portuguese
For other languages, create a Resources-[LANG].resx file in either:
Root project folder
/Resources folder
Add localization labels as needed. See How to: Create a Localized Resource File.
