Globalize and Localize Your "Avalon" Applications Using LocBaml

Overview

Internationalization of applications is something developers have been encouraged to do for years, though all-too-frequently it doesn't get done. But the risks of not doing so are growing ever higher. The rapid maturation of the global marketplace means companies must increasingly look beyond their shores and venture into fast moving markets like China and India. Surviving in these huge markets requires localization of the applications into the native language(s). English alone won't cut it. For example, in China, a large portion of the computing population uses applications with UIs localized in Chinese, not English. This paper explains how to write culture-aware WPF applications.
