Localization

• Oct 16, 2020

Localization is one of the primary features the eXpressApp Framework can offer, as a result of having the user interface model at the core of the configuration subsystem. Every WinForms, ASP.NET and Mobile XAF application is easily localizable using the Model Editor. A lot of localizable property values in the model are calculated based on other values, so you never need to change things like field captions in more than one place, unless they are actually supposed to be different.
