How to add multiple language on a asp.net webform site? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi all,

    I am currently making a ecommerce system in asp.net webforms and c#.

    What i want to add is a icon with a flag so that the users of my site can change language on the site.

    I have no idea on where to start on this or how to do this,so i could use some help to get me in the right direction.

    Is there something i could add that handles multiple languages in asp.net webforms?

    I am looking for a simple solution where i can add the translation in a xml file or something else.

  • That's a mess you are getting yourself into, which you may regret doing it in the long run.

  • Hello,

    As stated already, best to ask in the ASP.NET forum. Also consider reading the following article on changing the spoken language and/or auto changing the spoken language

  • I feel that the OP would have to get into JavaScript and Jquery, which can be a nightmare in itself. Also the browsers act differently too depending upon what is happening, which would have to be addressed through JavaScript and Jquery another nightmare. I myself, I wouldn't walk away from it, I would run.

    I never passed on such scenario to handle multiple languages using js, the one that I know is the Globalization and Localization which is posted in Kevininstructor example:

    Myself, I wouldn't be bothered with it. And this would be something a  junior developer would deal with it. They love that kind of stuff. :)

    We are not here to judge but to advise, if they ignore such advice that is their choice. The majority of people becoming developers need to start some place, trip and fall and learn from these things to become better developer or not, it's their choice.
