Localization¶

When you localize your application you translate and customize it for a specific locale (language and location).

Localization involves creation and use of different resources, such as text, textures, and styles, for locales that you want to support in your application.

Besides translating the text content into multiple languages, Kanzi enables you to use different resources for each locale, including animations, brushes, composers, fonts, materials, meshes, textures, and styles.

Kanzi uses localization tables to store the localized text resources and information about which locale uses which project resources. See Localizing applications.

Learn how to localize your Kanzi applications by completing a tutorial. See Tutorial: Localize your application.

Kanzi includes both internationalization and localization features and is as such a true global solution for all your UI needs. In your Kanzi applications you can use text written with complex scripts. For example, you can use Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and right-to-left languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew. See Tutorial: Localize applications for right-to-left locales

Make sure that the font you use includes all the glyphs for the text that you want to include in your Kanzi application.
