I have designed a Silverlight mapping application in English.. my requirement is such that I also need change the website font in Tamil (Indian Language) from oralce database which is stored in unicode(used baraha software)

I have tried resource files etc but the since a lot of data needs to be read from the database I dont find that feasible

Please do suggest alternatives

My first time to know that Silverlight supports Arabic and RTL layout. This is so GREAT. Thanks for the post

Hi,

What support does Silverlight have for MUI?

I like to write a Silverlight application that has support for different languages. (English, Swedish German, Finish, Spanish etc. and perhaps one day languages that are written very differently such as Arabic, Thai, Chinese.)

The user shall be able to select a language at runtime and the program should display different texts in the GUI depending on the choice.

What support does Silverlight have for this? Can Silverlight use MUI for translation of text labels and menus? Can it be used to translate choices in combo boxes (Text representations of enum-values or string values used to populate combo boxes, headers of grids etc?)

If not how would you that a multilanguage application shall be implemented with Silverlight?

Where can I read more about Silverlight and multilanguage?

Best regards
