Languages

This is a list of all languages that may be applied as a preference to match your website.

By default English (en) is enabled. Changes in Language, Culture and Currency are required to update date, time and prices throughout the site.

To edit Languages:

  1. Scroll through the options.
  2. Select your preferred language.
  3. You may select as many languages as you support.
  4. Click 'Save'.

The date shown in the footer corresponds with the 'Culture' selected, regardless of which languages are selected in this page.

Note: These languages are not automatically translated. Manual updates are required for the site language files.

Language Translation

Language Resource Files:
Copy the default language .resx files located in the App_GlobalResources folder and rename them to include the language code in their name as follows:
{Name}.{language code}.resx

Example: For Turkish, "AdminStrings.resx" should be copied to "AdminStrings.tr.resx"

For a list of the .NET language codes please visit:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533052.aspx

Once those files are copied, their contents must be modified such that each "<value>" is translated from its English default to its language specific text.

Example: The English word "Home" can be translated to the Turkish "Ev" by changing the "<value>Home</value>" line to "<value>Ev</value>".

Email Template Files:
Similar to the Language resource files, the email template files should be copied and renamed as follows:
{Name}-{language code}

Example: For Turkish, "Bidder_Bid_subject-en" should be copied to "Bidder_Bid_subject-tr." Again, once those files are copied, their contents must be translated to the specified language.
