Multilanguage apps with Microsoft Translator v2

Posted on by jela

Hello,

I am trying to create multilanguage app (to translate all my labels, text buttons,...) depending on the user language. (I am setting it on app OnStart in variable varCurrentLanguge).

I thought that I could do it with MicrosoftTranslatorV2.Translate. I thought that I could use it to set label text (something like

MicrosoftTranslatorV2.Translate(varCurrentLanguge, "Language Application")) but I was getting errors.

Later I found out that I cannot use it to set text to label itself but some other component function can set the value to variable and then label text could be set with that variable. If this is the case what is best approach to do it?

Also, my question is does MicrosoftTranslatorV2.Translate mentioned to be used for this purpose? Or it was more intended to be used like google translator?

Thank you.

Im also wondering why Microsoft chose to ruin a perfectly good translator by making it completely impossible to work with for what it was intended.

Now I have to set variables for every label, button and other container that holds a string I want to translate. This should never be the case.

they sure are known to destroy a perfectly working function all the time. Even the forum before was greater than what we have now.
