Hi All,

I have created an application but I need it to support all languages. Completely multilingual.

For example : a spanish user buy my application and run on his machine it should detect current selected langauge on machine and when ever user type anything in application it should be visible in same langauge say spanish here.

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name will give me current used langauge.
But how can I will show the typed information by user in same langauage in my application.

Actually it’s a keylogger application which will record keys. Now how can I record keys in all langauges based on machine settings.

Thanks in Advance.

here I can not create resource file for each language so I have to use concept of windows.
.
selected language from windows and keyboard format of that language.

Now what I did is just changed my default language to Arabic now my login screen will not work because one input in English and other in Arabic. By default windows shows Arabic keyboard whenever I type anything but whole application mess up. What should I do now.

About the notion of "all languages": look at this citation:

It is usually estimated that the number of languages in the world varies between 3,000 and 8,000.

This is only about written language; apparently, you do not have consider all spoken ones.

I hope you understand that you need to translate each and every word in you UI in every language.

Go figure the size of your team. :-)

Good answer SA. My 5.
Translating to all written language is almost an impossible task.

Thank you for you good words, but you're wrong, unfortunately. This is your question which has nothing to do with the referenced material. The problem is your failure to formulate the problem accurately and correctly. You can only get help from people if you greatly improve this kind of communication.

Best wishes,

"For example : a spanish user buy my application and run on his machine it should detect current selected langauge on machine and when ever user type anything in application it should be visible in same langauge say spanish here."

Not going to happen.

Even Google translate gets it wrong - sometimes spectacularly wrong - and the nuances of button caption meaning are definitely beyond it.
Why do you think companies such as MS have such large Globalization teams? If it was that simple, they wouldn't pay all that money every month...
