globalization

Is there a way how to determine current system culture using a formula in Excel wihout using any VBA code ? I imagine something simple like this: IF(CULTURE="sk-SK","Prehľad","Overview") or also something like this would do for me: IF(CURRENCYSIGN="€","Prehľad","Overview") I am looking for a simple way to globalize XLSX file without any additional resources or files needed. No, there is no way to get system language settings without VBA. There is simply no built-in function for this. But if you consider UDF, there's a solution: Public Function GetLang() GetLang = Application.LanguageSettings

In VB.Net, is there a way of auto-detecting the culture of a string representation of a number? I'll explain the situation: Our asp.net web site receives xml data feeds for boat data. Most of the time, the number format for the prices use either a simple non-formatted integer e.g. "999000". That's easy for us to process. Occaisionally, there are commas for thousands separators and periods for the decimal point. Also, that's fine as our data import understands this. Example "999,000.00". We're starting to get some data from France where some of the prices have been entered with the periods and

DateTime let you format depending of the current culture. What are the culture supported by default? The scenario I have in mind use this.Date.Value.ToString("MMMM") which will print "January" if the culture is set to english-us but will print "Janvier" if the culture is in french-ca.

I would like to know what languages are supported and if a language is not, what are my options? You can use CultureInfo.GetCultures to get all supported cultures. CultureInfo[] cultures =

In Java resource bundles I may have the following Resource Bundle definitions: en_GB - British English jobs.search.resultstr = There {1,choice,0#are no jobs|1#is one job|1<are {1,number,integer} jobs} for your search ceb_PH - Cebuano jobs.search.resultstr = Adunay {1,choice,0#mga walay mga|1#mao ang 1 nga|1<{1,number,integer}} trabaho alang sa {1,choice,0#inyong mga|1#imong|1<inyong mga} search The code I would use to extract the resource would make choices based on the input data and format the string correctly resulting in one of three different outputs. pseudo code: myResultStr =

I have problem with my localized attributes such as: public class LocalizedDisplayNameAttribute : DisplayNameAttribute { public LocalizedDisplayNameAttribute(string resourceId) : base(GetMessageFromResource(resourceId)) { } private static string GetMessageFromResource(string resourceId) { var propertyInfo = typeof(Lockit).GetProperty(resourceId, BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public); return (string)propertyInfo.GetValue(null, null); } } When I'm using properties with this attribute it's localized in PropertyGrid, but when I change the current CultureInfo it doesn't refresh, even if I
