VS2005 - Localization problems
Hi,
It seems impossible to localize forms in VS2005 (as well as in VB2005 express).
What I did :
- Set the localizable property of the form to true
- Select a language for the form (english, for example)
- Enter the appropriate controls texts in english
- Select another language for the form (french, for example)
- Enter the appropriate controls texts in french
- etc.
When I switch back to english, half of the text has disappeared !
Is it a known problem in these beat version ?
For test purposes, I tried to do the same things in Visual Studio 2003 and it works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of bugs in the beta versions. This is expected ofcourse. The worst part is that some people experience problems that others don't!
It this particular case I haven't had any problem with form localization!
Do you have beta 2?
Yes, I have beta 2, I tried on VS2005 and VB 2005 Express Edition.
I should add that the problem seems to happen only on menus.
On the first level, to be precise (like File, Edit, and so on), not on the other labels.
You can try the following :
- Create an empty form and add it a MenuStrip control
- Add some menu (File, File-New, Edit, Edit-Cut, etc.)
- Set the form's localizable property to true
- Switch form's language to english
- Possibly change the menu labels to english
- Switch form's language to french (or whatever language you want)
- Change the menu labels to french
- Switch back to default language (or english)
- The first level label have disappeared (File, Edit, etc.)
The problem is very easy to reproduce and happens all the time if you follow these steps.
Can you tell me if you have the same results ?
Thanks
Forget it! You report it that one anyway!!! I saw that later.
I confirmed it, since I was able to reproduced it myself.
