XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringNonTranslated Event

Allows you to obtain resource strings that are not localized for the current locale (culture).

Namespace: DevExpress.Utils.Localization

Assembly: DevExpress.Data.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public static event EventHandler<XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringEventArgs> QueryLocalizedStringNonTranslated

VB.NET

Public Shared Event QueryLocalizedStringNonTranslated As EventHandler(Of XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringEventArgs)

Event Data

The QueryLocalizedStringNonTranslated event's data class is XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
ContainerType	Gets the type of a localizer object or data form shipped as part of a DevExpress UI control.
Culture	Gets the culture name of ResourceStringID.
InvariantString	Gets the culture-independent (invariant) resource string.
IsTranslated	Gets whether the resource string is localized (translated) for the current locale (culture).
ResourceStringID	Gets the value of the enumeration member in StringIDType that corresponds to the processed resource string, or the value that uniquely identifies the form’s UI element/control.
StringID	Gets the enumeration member in StringIDType that corresponds to the processed resource string.
StringIDType	Gets the type of the resource string identifier for DevExpress UI controls.
Value	Gets or sets the resource string.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
ToString()	Returns a string in the following format: {ResourceStringID}: “{Value}”/“{InvariantString”}.

Remarks

The QueryLocalizedStringNonTranslated event fires for each non-localized resource string (if any). Handle this event to collect non-localized resource strings for further translation.

Example

In this example, the Windows Forms application is localized into German with pre-built satellite resource assemblies available from the DevExpress Localization Service. Localized resources were generated by the DevExpress developer community and may be incomplete. The example demonstrates how to obtain untranslated resources and create a dictionary for further translation.
