Change the language for Button VB.Net

[magicdl96]

hello everybody,

I built the Add-in whose buttons are in the English language. And I want to create a new Button to change the language in my Add-Ins.

Anyone have any ideas to help me?

Thank you so much.

Isn't it easier to rewrite Add-in in the right language?

[magicdl96]

I want to write a multilingual Add-In. And I can't rewrite every language.

Hi,

Are you using WinForms? Or WPF?

If you use WinForms, "Language" property of the base form changes the language.

It's an important that the text should be written in English when "Language" property is "(Default)".

Language will be selected automatically and it is depending on Inventor's language. (Not Windows's)

Hi,

Create a string in Resources.resx and Resouces.<language>.resx and replace the hard-coded texts in your code to "Properties.Resources.<string name in resources.resx>".

// This code is in C#.

// Change the code from:
// var CommandName = "My command name";
// To:
var CommandName = Properties.Resouces.MyCommandName;

// "MyCommandName" must exist in Resouces.resx.
