Summary

Writing software for the global marketplace is an ever more important requirement for large enterprises operating in multiple countries, and for independent software vendors. In this chapter, we saw how code should be written in a locale-independent way and how to isolate and then translate the locale-specific resources. You can test localized applications even without having foreign devices because you can download localized images of the emulators from MSDN.

This chapter has given you a brief introduction to this topic. For more information, please consult the online documentation on the MSDN Web site at msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f45fce5x.aspx.
