But does it work for other stuff, like Silverlight 5 apps as well?

...Though i haven't installed this toolkit yet because i have a question.

I understand that this will translate the app according to the language settings of the computer its running on. But say i want to provide and option in the settings of my app that will allow the users to translate to the language of their choice (allow the user to select a language from a list of languages in the settings), can this toolkit translate the whole app too?

In other words, does the system have to have the language installed (and/or chosen) in order to run the app in that specific language? Or can i call some function that will choose the language for my app only and not the system.

Hope to get an answer....

Kevin, the toolkit needs a workaround for this Release Preview version that will be fixed in our next update.  There are directions for the workaround here:  http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/toolsforwinapps/thread/77e2b4b0-183e-4f82-80ac-a9de9e87f4a2/#f1df0b61-d927-4d21-a43a-fb922ade5d50

Please note that the project, not the solution needs to be selected before the TOOLS menu will display the "Enable Multilingual App Toolkit" option.

If you continue to experience an issue enabling your Windows Store project, please post in the MSDN's "Tools for Windows Store" forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/toolsforwinapps/threads).  This forum provides better threading as we work on resolving the issue.

Unknown option specified - 'App_Multilingual.prilog.xml'

After a little testing, I found this was because my Project was named "First App", when renamed to "FirstApp" it works fine. Might want to address that little bug.

For example:
<AppxGenerateProjectPriFileAdditionalMakepriExeParameters>/IndexLog "$(MakePriLog)"</AppxGenerateProjectPriFileAdditionalMakepriExeParameters>

It's in BETA stage now but it's free. Supports all kind of projects (WinForms, WebForms, WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone and Win RT).

The latest update allows to auto-generate x:Uid attributes in XAML files for Windows 8 projects.

  1. Automatically create a multilanguage version from a normal app.
  2. Provide a tool to edit or at least export to .resjson

Regarding 1:

in a HTML file you have:

<p>Hello World</p>

The tool should:

  1. collect all strings
  2. create a "en-US" folder (or other default language), put in the resources.resjson like so:
    {
  "string1" : "Hello World",
  "_string1.source" : "Hello World",       // optional?
  "_string1.comment" : "commentstring1"
}
  3. manipulate the HTML to this (optional, some do it in JS):
    <p data-win-res="{textContent: 'string1'}">Hello World</p>

 

This would be a great tool!
