Hi guys,

How do you localize a Dropdown list? You localize the ListItems? what if
the listItems come from the Database? Do you dynamically create unique names
for them?.

Thanks in advance.

You must have the localized data in the database.

One trick, that I prefer, is to have the table names the format:

RootName_Locale

eg:
SomeTable_en_US
SomeTable_fr_FR

and then populate the DataSource from the corresponding table.

Great. I assume, from your response, that your application is alive and
kicking. :-)
