Hi,

I am about to order Visual Studio .NET. We work with the French Canadian
version of Windows XP Professional. I don't know exactly how it works, but I
have a question that may sound stupid, but I want to ask it anyway - it's
about localization and culture:

-->We want to develop an application available in both French and English,
and someday we want to translate it into Spanish. I have been told that the
best thing to do is buy software in the same language as the OS, but if I
purchase VStudio in French and develop an English application using the
proper localization or culture, can system errors/DLL errors or things like
that be displayed in French instead of English on an English XP workstation?

Thanks in advance,

Anne, from Canada

Hi Anne,

I'm using English version of Visual Studio.NET in English Windows.  I have
projects have English, French, Spanish and Chinese locals. The system error
/dll messages are from the Framework runtime installed on clients machine.
These dlls are not distributed with the application's setup. So, if my
application runs on an English Windows XP, all the system errors are in
English, if the same application runs on a Chinese Windows XP, all the
system errors are in Chinese. We do need to manually localize our own error
messages in the application.
