Hi,

My web application is localized and support the different languages. Problem is that when I run my application in Spanish language then it displays extra characters with every text/string.

In English it displays :
Change page: {4} Displaying page {0} of {1}, items {2} to {3} of {5}

Whilst in Spanish it displays:
ÉS-Chañgé pagéa {4} Dísplayíñg pagé <stróñg>{0}</stróñg> óf <stróñg>{1}</stróñg>, ítéms <stróñg>{2}</stróñg> tó <stróñg>{3}</stróñg> óf <stróñg>{5}</stróñg>ÑéCHJkdÁlDJjÍyWrcmHfzüwÍWóRmSL

Please help me. why it is displaying these extra characters.

Thanks in advanced
Shweta

Is it Unicode or not?

My best guess is that there is someting wrong with the resx file. Open it in a text editor and investigate.

Agreed... This looks like the resource is somehow coming up wrong. Perhaps a translation was done using babelfish or something of the sort, but instead of the text entries being translated, the tags were also translated.

Thanks Marcus!

I have checked my resource file. It is correct.

Well, it was worth checking out - you'll have to provide more information, because basically all we can do is guess at the reason for your problem. John has proposed a quick hack to remove the symptoms.

Solution 2

I think the easiest thing to do would be to do this:

C#

myString = myString.Replace("strong>", "b>");

and then translate the resulting string.
