Hi,

i have some string coming from xml file. my string could be true or false but not in english language.

it will be like in spanish,
falso = false,
verdadero= true,

there are so many language values can be possible. how can i convert such different language information into boolean 1/0 ?

at the time of conversion i have information of the language that true/false coming from. how can i use CultureInfo or something else to convert it into Boolean ?

Thanks in advance.

Solution 2

I can think of two options:
1) Either use some web service to get the English converted value of the returned word.
2) If you know all possible languages that the value will belong to, create a List of KeyValuePair. Key will contain the word in some language that is returned and the value will be it's meaning i.e True/False. Compare the returned word against the list and fetch the corresponding value. This approach will be much faster.

Hope this helps!

hi ankur, thanks for the information. but i want to use localization instead of manually conversion. i know that way is the last one but my project is having millions of line of code so that is not feasible way. do you have any idea about how can we do this using globalization ?

i want something so my spanish language will be default instead of english one.

I haven't worked much on it but I know you have resource file for each language. You will have to look them up if the word is in it or something like that.

You can do that in ASP.NET very easily. I will leave Googling this to you.
