I started to review the Adobe Flex 3 language localization. The site I used to learn is at Adobe Labs written by Gordon Smith September 25, 2007.
My opinion is the localization implementation suffers a geekish solution. So even Gordon’s super effort, you get lost in the terminology geeks have used to define the elements of localization features. So I did eventually get through to make my own examples based on Gordon’s work.
This example shows how to embed the locale language in the Flex swf. This of course make the Flex swf potentially larger. However if you have a small amount of language or only a few languages, you might find this solution more expedient.
Look it over and download at Adobe Flex 3 Basic Embedded Runtime Localization Locales.
I also followed Gordon’s modular version of localization. This allows loading localization data during runtime. Gordon’s example has problems with Flex timing when you go to put it to work. I solved the timing issues and will post on that as well with the fixes. But also there are even more geekish aspects to get Flex even set up to do this.
