Tutorial on Localizing KetticSpellChecker control in C#.NET

• Create a new project or open an existing one in your C# Windows Form application
• Use the namespace, Kettic.WinForms.UI.Localization, which include the complete localizing C# classes
• Create a descendant of the C# class KetticSpellCheckerLocalizationProvider in your .NET project
• Override the GetLocalizedString() method, and then provide a translation for the messages
• When translation message was not offered, this method will return the default value
• Call to the base GetLocalizedString method in the default clause of the switch statement to guarantee the behavior
• Implement a custom localization provider with the C# code below

class MyEnglishSpellCheckerLocalizationProvider : KetticSpellCheckerLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case KetticSpellCheckerStringId.Title:
                return "Spell Checking";
            case KetticSpellCheckerStringId.OK:
                return "OK";
            case KetticSpellCheckerStringId.Cancel:
                return "Cancel";
            case KetticSpellCheckerStringId.AddToDictionary:
                return "Add to Dictionary";
            case KetticSpellCheckerStringId.IngoreAll:
                return "Ignore All";
            case KetticSpellCheckerStringId.Suggestions:
                return "Suggestions:";
        }

        return null;
    }
}

• After the implementation of the custom localization provider, we can apply it through instantiating and assigning it to the current localization provider. The following C# code shows how to achieve this.

KetticSpellCheckerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyEnglishSpellCheckerLocalizationProvider();
