The Multilingual App Toolkit is a nice start, but I have some suggestions to make it even easier:
- Automatically create a multilanguage version from a normal app.
- Provide a tool to edit or at least export to .resjson
Regarding 1:
in a HTML file you have:
<p>Hello World</p> | |
The tool should:
- collect all strings
- create a "en-US" folder (or other default language), put in the resources.resjson like so:
{
"string1": "Hello World","_string1.source": "Hello World", // optional?"_string1.comment": "commentstring1" }
-
3. manipulate the HTML to this (optional, some do it in JS):
<p data-win-res="{textContent: 'string1'}">Hello World</p>
This would be a great tool!

but than I found this forum and it is maybe better suited for this thread.
