Thanks for this, very useful indeed. So much so that I’m going to blog about it myself and of course credit your post.

Comment on How to localize Silverlight Applications the smart way by Michael

Hi,

This looks really nice. One thought I have is that different laguages might create buttons of different sizes – and that is fine (in my case), but changing the language, might change the layout of the page in the blink of an eye.

I would like to add some kind of animation, like a 3D flip-over effect, so you
1) flip the page 90 degrees (so you only see the thin side of the paper)
2) do the LayoutRoot clear and instantiate a new page.
3) finish the flip, and the user sees a new page with the new language.

Being new to SilverLight I really don’t know how to do this – can you help adding a little GUI-coolness to this otherwise very smart way of doing localization?

Cheers
Michael

The [Description] on class members has nothing to do with localization of applications, but to answer your question: You can use the WCF Extras Library (http://wcfextras.codeplex.com/) to export Service Method descriptions.

Hi!
Nice work just one question though.
I am currently using RIA Services to generate an application and your code works great but it doesn’t localize the [Description] attribute that can be placed on class members.

Any idea on how this can be done?

Cheers

Sure – that the result if you are using Features that are not available within a Silverlight application. What you can do is wrapping the code parts that aren’t useable in Silverlight with a #if !SILVERLIGHT … #endif statement.
