Localization of LEADTOOLS for .NET WPF Annotations Automation
LEADTOOLS for .NET Annotations Automation uses standard .NET localization in order to allow you to change the text strings used throughout the user interface in the automated mode.
For more information about .NET localization refer to the Microsoft MSDN topic Globalization and Localization Namespaces in Visual Studio.
Follow the steps outlined in this topic to override the default text strings used in the user interface or completely translate the user interface to a new language or culture.
-
Locate the file Strings.resx in your LEADTOOLS for .NET folder (Usually at <LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Redist\DotNet\Win32\Localization\Annotations\Annotations). This file is a standard .NET resx (XML-based resource format) that is used to generate common language runtime binary .resources files that can be embedded in a runtime binary.
-
This file contains all the text strings used throughout the automated annotation user interface menus and dialog boxes. Each item has a data entry in the XML file that consists of name and value attributes. The following table lists all the entries and their meanings: Exceptions

Make a copy Strings.resx and save it to any folder. Open this new Strings.resx in any text or XML editor and change the string values as necessary for your application.
-
Leadtools.Windows.Annotations.Dll is signed with a strong name. Therefore, you need to send the Strings.resx file that you created in step (3) to LEAD Technologies in order for it to be converted to a resource DLL and be signed with our private key. Contact our technical support for more information on how to complete this process.
-
Once you have obtained a signed version of your new resource dll, refer to the Microsoft MSDN topic Globalization and Localization Namespaces in Visual Studio for information on how to apply this in your application.
