Hi!!

I have this trouble and I´m tired to look for a solution on google.

I´m working in a WPF Application. This app has a TabControl with a fe tabItem. One of these TabItems will serve as Configuration window to my app. On it, I am going to work with some necesary and general parameters for the app.

One of these parameters will be the language for my App.

On the other hand, I want an excel file that have the labels and their translations into all languages. For each label, I´ll have a column in all the languages. These labels, maybe, will be the key in the ResourcesDictionaries.

With all this on mind, I would like to achieve the following objectives:

- Have a selector where I could select the lenguage for the app.

- Have an update button to read the excel file and automatically generate resource dictionaries for each language and show the changes on window.

I´ll need know too, what type of 'build action' and 'copy on results directory' option will be more advisable for excel, resourceDictionaries ... files.

If anyone can help, I´ll be eternally grateful.

Thanks.

An Excel file to do localization?? That's so ridiculous, it's almost funny.

You might want to read up on how to do it the right way. Start with these[^].

You think I have not read that before? Did you read fully what I need?
If you're not contributing anything, do not answer. I already know my limitations.

Then why are you asking to do this from an Excel spreadsheet??

Have a nice life.
