Windows 8多语言应用程序工具包

Question

So i'm trying to localise my app but the toolkit doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've been following this guide:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/jj572370.aspx

I followed the guide and when I build I get this in the output:

1>  Multilingual App Toolkit build started.
1>  Multilingual App Toolkit build completed successfully.

but the .xlf files are empty. I have "English.xlf", "English (United Kingdom).xlf" and "Pseudo Language (Pseudo).xlf" and none of them have anything in it. I do have text in my app, written in English.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong as there is no error message. I also found this guide:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh965329.aspx

which doesn't even use the toolkit.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

The Multilingual App Toolkit needs a resource file to work with. Did you create the proper resource file for your apps culture as described in the link Translating UI Resources ?

If you created that file, you need to enter your strings there. On compile the translator will then copy those strings to each of your selected language files.

After that you will then have to:

• translate the strings manually in each file
• use the translation tools automatic translation feature (it's good but not perfect!)
• send the file to a translator
