You use the Manage Languages Dialog to manage the languages that are supported for MVC localization.
Before you can use this dialog, you must configure your data source for localization. Refer to Configuring a Data Source Project for Localization.
After you rebuild your data source project with localization enabled, you can add resource files to define additional languages. You may add a language as either culture-neutral (for example, fr for French), or culture-specific (for example, fr-CA for French in Canada).
Adding a New Language
To add one or more additional languages, do the following:
In Solution Explorer, select the data source project.
From the Project Menu, select Manage Language Resources.
On the Manage Languages dialog, check one or more additional languages to add.
Click OK.
Note: ePortal adds an additional .resx file for each message and for each language.
The file extension for added language files is .<lang-id>.resx. where <lang-id> is the language identifier. For example, the new file might have an extension of .fr.resx or .fr-CA.resx.
Edit each new .resx file and translate messages to the new language.
Deleting a New Language
Note: If you delete one or more languages, the resource files for those languages are also deleted, and you will lose all resource strings that were contained in those files.
To delete a language that you added, do the following:
In Solution Explorer, select the data source project.
From the Project Menu, select Manage Language Resources.
On the Manage Languages dialog, deselect one or more languages to delete.
Click OK.
Note: ePortal deletes each .resx file for each message and for each language that you deselected.
