TranslatedString
The TranslatedString class represents a translated string. Here's a breakdown of the code:
- The class has the following properties:
- DefaultValue: Represents the default value of the translated string
- Translations: Represents the translations of the string stored in a dictionary, with the LCID (Locale Identifier) as the key and the translation as the value
- SerializedTranslations: This property is used for XML and JSON serialization
- The class has constructors, methods, and operators for working with translated strings:
- TranslatedString(): Initializes a new instance of the TranslatedString class with default values
- TranslatedString(String defaultValue): Initializes a new instance of the TranslatedString class with the specified default value
- Clone(): Creates a deep copy of the TranslatedString object
- Value: Gets the translation of the string based on the current set language of the client
- ToString(): Overrides the ToString() method to return the translated value
- SaveTranslation(int lcid, string value): Saves a translation for the specified LCID
- GetTranslation(int lcid): Retrieves the translation for the specified LCID
- Implicit and explicit operators: Allow implicit conversion from a string to a TranslatedString object and explicit conversion from a TranslatedString object to a string
- IsChanged(TranslatedString tsOld, TranslatedString tsNew): Compares two TranslatedString objects to determine if there are any changes
Note: all LCID follow the Microsoft language list, found here.
