Localization

Localization is the process of translating an application’s user interface based on specific cultures.

  • Create a copy of the default resource file (Resources.en-US.resx) of Code 192 Dashboard Designer, available in the Localization folder at the installed location of the dashboard designer application, and place it in the same location

C:\Program Files (x86)\Code 192\Dashboard Designer\DashboardDesigner\Localization

  • Open the copied file using the Text Editor such as Notepad++. Each data row of the resource file contains a name, and value.

  • Edit the value corresponding to each name based on the specific culture.

  • Rename the file as Resources.<culturename>.resx. Here, the culture name illustrates the codes of language and country. For example, you have to specify file name as Resources.fr-FR.resx for French culture.
