Hej

I'm looking for best practices for handling language support in a WPF application. Do any of you have experience of it?

I don't think I know what that is. Sorry.

Wpf is the .NET gui framework. I need to make a GUI that supports multiple languages. I'll start googling, thought I'd ask here before finding something sub-optimal on the internet.

How are you feeling today Fox?

Better, thanks.

@JohanLarsson Oh right. Well, I know some .Net. Maybe I could help?

I'm reading this now dunno if it is good.

Oh. That stuff.

1:34 PM

At this point I'm looking for links to resources such as best practices. Have not done any previous work with this before, going to do some reading.

I guess I can't really be helpful. Maybe @Reg or @Matt has some ideas. I think they have multinational codez.

So the good news is that I only lost about an hour of my users' data.

And I am back where I started from on Friday afternoon.

That is good, is there a way of figuring out who was affected?

Not really.

I could guess, but I am sure I will hear from the most annoyed ones.

It was right during prime time.

I may still finish the expansion before the project lead notices though.

I was thinking maybe router logs or something could give clues but i really have no clue when it comes to that type of thing

I know their last login time, but we don't track sessions, at least not to my knowledge.

And since I wrote it, I probably have the best idea. Except of course all that part is canned.

Off to test the new logins. Ping me if you need me.

goddamn hiccoughs

user19161

@matt Still no sign of damage!

yes. except for these hiccoughs

user19161

I think it will happen in a few hours...

and my bike still needs some work done to it

user19161

I still have my association bonus...

2:07 PM

that's nice

I still have these hiccoughs

user19161

I am considering switching to yahoo mail and yahoo search.

I'm considering autoasphyxiation

Make sure you put the erotic part in.

user19161

By the way, you UK users are not affected by the google image search thing yet, I read.

Try holding your breath and swallowing.

That usually fixes it for me.

2:09 PM

oh!

maybe that's got it

user19161

I need to get out the gas and maybe the hiccup will stop after half an hour.

user19161

Just try to burp as much as you can.

burping won't help with hiccoughs

user19161

Really? Hmm...

they're down to a spasmodic diaphragm

user19161

2:11 PM

Just remove the diaphragm then.

user19161

By the way, does yahoo make its own browser?

well, burping might help in so far as it makes you concentrate and control your abdomen

@KitFox it's a miracle!

user19161

I am thinking we have google chrome, google search and google mail, as well as internet explorer, bing and hotmail all from microsoft.

user19161

So since we have yahoo mail and yahoo search, yahoo should have a browser too!

there's also android and chrome OS, Windows and Windows Phone

@JasonBourne What Google image search thing?

@JohanLarsson Sadly I don't know the best way. I will have to find a way at some point, when we need to figure it out for our new app

user19161

@AndrewLeach Google image search now defaults to two levels instead of three for filtering explicit content. Even if the filter is off, one needs more explicit terms to get the same results as before. This is starting to happen in the US, but not in the UK yet.

user19161

@MattЭллен Now yahoo needs yahoo os and yahoo phone as well...

need? hmmm, I'm not sure they do

user19161

OK, at least make the browser to complete the trilogy.

2:17 PM

@MattЭллен ok, I'll go with the vanilla MSDN suggestion. Will probably hack a dummy project and test, can github it if you want to review it.

@JohanLarsson thanks! I'll definitely do that at some point :D
