The best practice for HTML layout is to ensure that localizers need to translate only strings, because the user interface sizes all controls to fit the text that the strings contain. This is a benefit because the step of manually resizing controls is removed from the localization process, thereby removing the errors and bugs that can result. However, the layout of the controls changes depending on string lengths, so localized Web sites need to be carefully tested.The following list provides reco

In an ASP.NET page, you can use the following methods to read values from resource files:Implicit localization ASP.NET fills property values from a local resource file based on matching keys to properties. By using a tool in Visual Web Developer, you can automatically mark all of the controls on a page for implicit localization.Explicit localization Create an expression that reads a specific resource from a local or global resource file. You should create expressions for every control proper

You can use declarative syntax to set the values of ASP.NET server control properties to a resource value. Alternatively, you can retrieve resource values programmatically. You might do this if the resource value is not known at design time or if you want to set the resource value based on a run-time condition.You can get resource values from both local and global resource files that use methods that return an object that you can cast to the appropriate type. Because ASP.NET compiles global reso

If you create Web pages that will be read by speakers of different languages, you must provide a way for readers to view the page in their own language. One approach is to re-create the page in each language. However, that approach can be labor intensive, error prone, and difficult to maintain as you change the original page.ASP.NET enables you to create a page that can obtain content and other data based on the preferred language setting for the browser or based on the user's explicit choice of

Internally, the code behind ASP.NET Web pages handles all string data as Unicode. You can set how the page encodes its response, which sets the CharSet attribute on the Content-Type part of the HTTP header. This enables browsers to determine the encoding without a meta tag or having to deduce the correct encoding from the content. You can also set how the page interprets information that is sent in a request.Finally, you can set how ASP.NET interprets the content of the page itself — in other w

Globalization is the process of designing and developing applications that function for multiple cultures. Localization is the process of customizing your application for a given culture and locale.In an ASP.NET Web page, you can set to two culture values, the Culture and UICulture properties. The Culture value determines the results of culture-dependent functions, such as the date, number, and currency formatting, and so on. The UICulture value determines which resources are loaded for the page
