Building and Running an ASP.NET Web Client Application › National Language Support (NLS)

National Language Support (NLS)

All files generated for ASP.NET Web Clients are UTF-8 encoded. The model encoding is used to determine the translation used to convert the files to
UTF-8. In an effort to facilitate National Language Support (NLS), CA Gen creates satellite assemblies to represent each dialect. There are two ways to select the dialect:

• On Internet Explorer, the Language Preference setting under Internet Options is used to determine the corresponding default locale. There is a configuration file installed with CA Gen, culture.ini, which is used to determine mappings from Gen's standard Message Table designation in the Dialect Definition to Microsoft's standard locales.
• The dialect name or culture language code can be used as a context to reference the required dialect, for example:

  http://hostname:portnumber/application/dialect/trancode.ashx

  or

  http://hostname:portnumber/application/culturelanguagecode/trancode.ashx
