Localization Pro Add-in

kirken — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 08:30:25 GMT

Hi! I am developing ArcGIS Pro add-in and translating it to different languages. I have followed these concepts: ProConcept Localization and this GitHub example but would like to know if there is any chance of localizing add-in without installing language pack?

Thanks!

Hi Kirken, have you found where to get these language packs? Esri guards all the freaking information where to download anything. The site is a huge maze:(

Thanks!

Hi, you've found the best resources for localizing your Pro add-in. As discussed in the ProConcept document, it is recommended that you use language packs to provide a consistent experience for your users.

Hi, as mentioned in this help document, the Pro language packs can be obtained from My Esri or your distributor.

Ok, agree. But in my country, Estonia, people are often used to English UI-s (I'm not sure if there even is an Estonian ArcGIS pro but I know that many people don't like Windows in Estonian) which is why I would like that ArcGIS Pro UI itself was in English and Add-in language optional.
Anyway, one solution is to make translations as resources and then check the CultureInfo:
System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture;

and change the language accordingly:

if (ci.Name == "et-EE")
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("et");
