I have so far been translating my dot net C# apps in conjunction with me Delphi applications, and the C# code is kept to the same language by setting the locale whenever a form is created.

I now have two C# apps using Windows Forms to which I have added RTLC. My query is that some of the elements on the form that is open at translation time do get translated, but not others.

Other forms are always translated into the new language

One of the two apps changes languages from the main form, and since this does not change fully with RTLC, then it never shows the fully translated form (if not on OS with same locale)

Is there something I need to do to get the current form to fully translate when doing Windows Forms RTLC?

It looks like only top-level controls on the open forms are being translated...

I confirmed this in a test app.

I also checked the help but don't see any additional steps other than setting the initial culture, and setting the selected culture.

Do I need to run an additional step to get the currently open forms to translated?
Example uploaded...

Something like this seems to 'fix' it.

Someone with more knowledge than me needs to vouch for this and or enhance this to account for things I don't know :-)

In Translator.cs:

private void TranslateControl(Control control, string name)
{
resources.ApplyResources(control, name);
}

becomes

private void TranslateControl(Control control, string name)
{
   if (control.Controls.Count > 0) {
      for (int i = 0; i < control.Controls.Count; i++) {
         Control subControl = control.Controls[i];
         TranslateControl(subControl, subControl.Name);
    }
   }

   resources.ApplyResources(control, name);
}

HTH

Still need advice and solution for load-once type things, as I have found with column headers on a DataGridView for example...

Thank you. I fixed Translator.cs to handle nested controls. The fix will be in the next build (297).

I am working on this. Can you explain little bit more. What do you mean by load-once type string?

Jaakko

Well, in this case the headers on those columns in the datagridview do not get reloaded even though the Sisu project has those strings translated and in the resources. Vis, if you restart in the given language, the initial load of the resources allows the header on the column on the datagridview to be shown in the selected language.

so I am assuming that such resources are only applied at load time.

Is there a way to force them to reload?

If not, what is the advised way to get around this problem - it is not as if there is some load-time manipulation being done in custom code, that has to be rerun, which is a case we have many of and have adequately handled with Delphi. This is discussed in the help on RTLC with Delphi where a message is subscribed post-translation and some code blocks are re-run to bring the strings back up to the post-design state - in the new language. Here we are talking about strings on components that are not being changed at run time, they are simply not being loaded by the resource loader at run time in RTLC.

Hi

I fixed this. The current Translator class did not translate Columns of the DataViewGrid. I added code to do that. The code is similar as we use to translate MenuStrips. The new class is in build 297.
