Localization of Windows C/C++/SDK/MFC/.NET applications

Localization of Windows Applications converts user interface, help, log document, among others, to the languages your target markets or users of these applications speak. A majority of these applications are written in and compiled with C/C++/SDK/MFC/.NET languages. When the applications are designed and written with the subsequent localization requirement in mind, the so-called "resource" files are developed. These applications store dialog box, menus, short cuts and strings in these resources. The localization is accomplished by localizing resource files including icons, menus, dialog boxes, popup-windows, status bars, strings, accelerators, versions, and manifest resources.
