.NET Scanner
Overview. .NET scanner options allow user to specify which .NET solution or project to localize. user can also specify a directory that contains resx files for localization. The scanner detects the Form and other resource files and allows user to specify which properties to localize. By default all properties are localized.
The most important settings are the following:
- File; the file to localize (solution, project, or directory with resx files)
- Excluded properties (Excluded properties tab); Allows excluding of properties in form data.
Tabs
Output
Output directory. Specifies the directory where the localized files will be created. This is the directory where Multilizer creates the localized output files and sub directories. You can control the name of the localized files and directories by setting Type, Coding, Locale separator and Country separator.
Output file name
Type. Specifies how and where MULTILIZER creates the localized file version(s). Possible options are:
| Subdirectory | Create localized file(s) in sub directories named by language and locale. |
| Bundle name | Append the language and locale information in the output file name. |
| File extension | Replace the original file extension with language and locale information. |
Coding. Selects file name initial coding style. Possible values are:
| ISO | ISO standard coding style. |
| .NET | Microsoft .Net coding style. |
| Windows | Windows coding style. |
Excluded files
On this tab user can specify a list of files that are not localized.
Excluded properties
This tab allows user to specify by property name what to exclude from localization.
For example [X] *.ZOrder means that ZOrder property is not localized and not included in Multilizer translation grid.
The text is case sensitive.
.NET
This tab contains options for compiling localized files.
Compiling of localized resources is done with .NET SDK tools (Resgen.exe and Al.exe). In order to properly localize the files you need to select correct path to .NET SDK version.
These options are enabled only, if there's a .NET SDK installed on the computer.
In order to compile the localized resources properly, there must be enough of information that is passed to the .NET SDK tools. For instance proper compilation requires namespace information, which is not available if localizing a directory of ResX files for instance.
Check scanner log messages when building the localized files and compiling them.
Troubleshooting
Some languages can't be localized due to limitations in .NET Framework for some cultures; see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo.aspx
