Adding a New Language

Add support for a new language to the Hybrid Web Container.

  1. In Solution Explorer, create a new subfolder under HybridWebContainer\Resources named Strings_xx.res, where xx is the ISO639 code for the language (for example, it for Italian).
  2. Add a file called Strings.xx.res to the new folder.
    You can copy the default Strings.res file from HybridWebContainer\Resources\Strings, and use the copy as as a template for the new Strings.xx.res file.
  3. In the language-specific Strings.xx.res file, add your translated text.
    You need not include strings that do not require localization. Any strings that are omitted from localization are removed from the default Strings.res file.
