Move away from fat resx WinForms designer based localization architecture (resx files containing everything - like positions and margins is simply a design flaw) #89

Closed PawelTroka closed 7 years ago

We should move away from using so huge resx files as we do now. Instead we should define each form as a language independent form and use separate resx files for strings (containing strings only).

The reasons, besides simpler maintenance are quite clear - huge resx files are slow and error prone. For example see resx files related bugs we have encountered in Mono:

For now we can that this is done. Some small touches needs o be implemented like dealing with EditChartMenus.resx but that part is already planned to be removed in later releases of Computator.NET.

@PawelTroka How was this done? Did you use any automated tool or you manually did it?

PawelTroka commented 6 years ago

@sylveon Unfortunately it was mainly manual labour.

  1. Copying over *.resx files from Form to other location (easy)
  2. Settings Form Localizable property to false (easy)
  3. Setting up Form labels and stuff based on *.resx resource (can be a lot of work)
  4. Clearing up *.resx files so they only contain strings (quite easy)
