Windows Phone - Multi-language application name

Windows Phone - Multi-language application name

In writing When the papers, did not pay attention to the application name in the program list and

Application Tile multi-language, resulting in this time of submittal is back pieces, therefore, the article that is left out of this one part add up,

Let handle multiple languages ​​more complete.

> Listing Application Tile with a range of multi-language :

     (Application list) (the Application Tile)

The above two images, respectively, in addition to the application content, the appearance of a multi-language portion to be processed. But unfortunately handling of language here,

Unlike Android can be defined directly in Strings.xml, specify a @AppName through AndroidManifest.xml so convenient.

Thus, according to the MSDN And from the manner described under practice:

1. Build multi-language necessary Dll () :

    . a use Visual Studio 2010 to build a C ++ project and select Win32 project, named: AppResLib ;

        

     . B Application Type set and related information through the Win32 Application Wizard;

         

          Select the application type: DLL ; other options are: empty project ;

         

     . c Solution Explorer project through the gear selection by right property, enter the properties window, the specified value is shown in the illustration below: Yes (/ NOENTRY) ;

               

         [注意] /NOENTRY prevents the linker from linking a reference to _main into the DLL;

                       this option is required to create a resource-only DLL.

   

    d. 透过Solution Explorer在项目档按右键建立一个新的资源，选择为：String Table类型，输入下方二个重要的参数；

        

ID	Value	Caption
AppTitle	100	The language-neutral name of your application to be displayed in the application list.
AppTileString	200	The language-neutral name of your application to be displayed in the application Tile when pinned to Start.

          如下图示：

         

    e. 进行该项目AppResLib的建置，产生AppResLib.dll。

2. 利用步骤一建置好的多语系Dll，根据需要语系建立成特定的语言包(mui)：

     步骤一建立好的Dll是Windows Phone运行时主要引用的Dll，接着搭配想要支持的语言，进行语言包的建立。

语言包，指的是Windows Phone在设定中“地区+语言”中的“显示语言”， 根据MSDN上针对不同语系有对应

语言包的命名方式，可参考 。

往下列出常见的语系：

Culture name	Culture code	Dll file name
Chinese Simplified (PRC)	zh-CN	AppResLib.dll.0804.mui
Chinese Traditional (Taiwan)	zh-TW	AppResLib.dll.0404.mui
English (United States)	en-US	AppResLib.dll.0409.mui

以下介绍建立二个语系：en-US(AppResLib.dll.0409.mui)与zh-TW(AppResLib.dll.0404.mui)的方式。

     a. 开启步骤一的AppResLib项目，并进入所新增的String Table资源档；

     b. 根据en-US与zh-TW分别修改String Table，如下：

          ‧en-US：Caption的值是自订的

ID	Value	Caption
AppTile	100	My Application
AppTileString	200	My Application

          ‧zh-TW

ID	Value	Caption
AppTile	100	我的应用程序
AppTileString	200	我的应用程序

     c. en-US改好String Table后，进行项目的建置，自动产出AppResLib.dll，并将Dll更名为：AppResLib.dll.0409.mui；

     d. zh-TW改好String Table后，进行项目的建置，自动产出AppResLib.dll，并将Dll更名为：AppResLib.dll.0404.mui；

3. 将Dll与语言包放置于Windows Phone Project中与App.xaml同层的数据夹：

     将AppResLib.dll、AppResLib.dll.0409.mui与AppResLib.dll.0404.mui放置于Windows Phone Project项目中，

一定要与App.xaml文件同层数据夹，通常就是项目的根目录。接着把三个文件透过Solution Explorer加入项目，

并将三个项目的Build Action设定为Content；

4. 修改Windows Phone Application项目中的WMAppManifest.xml，并且重新对项目重新建置：

     a. 调整 标签中的Title属性：

          将Title改为@AppResLib.dll,-100，让系统根据AppResLib找到String Table中Value = 100的Caption值。

   1: 
 
 

  
  

    
  
  
   2:      ProductID="{product id}"

  
  

    
  
  
   3:      Title="@AppResLib.dll,-100"

  
  

    
  
  
   4:      RuntimeType="Silverlight"

  
  

    
  
  
   5:      Version="1.0.0.0"

  
  

    
  
  
   6:      Genre="apps.normal"

  
  

    
  
  
   7:      Author="author"

  
  

    
  
  
   8:      Description="description"

  
  

    
  
  
   9:      Publisher="publisher">

  
  

  
  


  
  



  
  
     b. 调整
   
   
    标签中的Title属性：
   


  
  
          将Title改为@AppResLib.dll,-200，让系统根据AppResLib找到String Table中Value = 200的Caption值。


  
    
  
  
   1: 
   
   

  
  

    
  
  
   2:   
   
   

  
  

    
  
  
   3:     
   
   
    
    Background.png
   
   

  
  

    
  
  
   4:     
   
   
    
    0
   
   

  
  

    
  
  
   5:     

  
  

    
  
  
   6:   

  
  

    
  
  
   7: 

  
  

  
  


  
  



  
  



  
  
     d. 重新建置Application项目，并且布署至实例设备或Emulator进行测试。


  
  
          =>测试时，透过更换设定中“地区+语言”中的“显示语言”的值来进行测试。

以上是补充如何对应用程序的名称在Windows Phoneo程序清单与Application Tile二个范围实践多语系的方式。
