Localizing Navisworks plugin ribbon interface and forms

[Anonymous]

Hello Sirs,

I had fall into problem with localizing Navisworks plugin. I need to translate c# plugin string resources into Russian language. I got Russian strings in ribbon buttons, but I can't get it in simple windows form that created after pressing the ribbon button. I tried several ways: put, for example, button identifier "button1.Text" into Form1.ru.resx and plugin_ru-RU.name without any success. Form is appeared with english text although ribbon button text is Russian string that comes from *.name file. Also I tried standard c# way:

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("ru-RU");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Plugin1.Localization", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
MessageBox.Show(rm.GetString("String1"));
MessageBox.Show(rm.GetString("String1",ci));

without success too...
Would you be so kind to explain how to make localization in Naviswoks plugin in the right way?

With regards, Sergey.

Hi,

the *.name file is for the text of custom ribbon only.

As to your own form/dialog, I think it is a common usage. When I googled by "C# localization", it returns many articles. Or you meant the same code in pure .NET project (no related with Navisworks API) cannot work in a Navisworks plugin? If yes, could you provide a sample and necessary snapshots of the failure you got? Thank you.
