LeonardoM brought up a good question today in the
forums today.
Where is the BugNet_StringResources table in BugNET 0.9?
A very good question! In earlier releases we made the decision to localize all the resource strings into the database because it would be easier to have them all in one place. On hindsight, this turned out to be more of a hassle (for our application) than we initially thought and did not go as planned.
Starting with version 0.9, we have moved all the resources into RESX files. There are a few reasons for this:
- It is the well accepted "out of the box" solution for localization in ASP.NET.
- There are a number of 3rd party solutions available to help create and edit these resx files, including visual studio or notepad even.
The team has worked very hard to move the majority of any static text to resx files for the new version and we apologize to users who have already translated the application using the StringResources table for the extra work required to localize the 0.9 version.
In the future, we hope that this will allow users to add new language support to BugNET much faster and in a more standardized and widely accepted manner.
