Localizing overview

To localize a Lync Controls application, create a separate set of resources (such as strings and images) that are appropriate for the users of each targeted culture or locale and that can be retrieved dynamically depending on the culture and locale.

Localizing Microsoft Silverlight applications

For localization information, see the MSDN Library article Localizing Silverlight-based Applications. To correctly display the private use area (PUA) and double-byte characters in a Lync Controls Silverlight application, explicitly set the font, as shown in the following example.

  <controls:MyStatusArea Name="mystatusarea1" Height="24" FontFamily="Tahoma, Segoe UI, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, SimSun, SimSun-18030"/>

Localizing Microsoft WPF applications

For localization information, see the MSDN Library article Localizing a WPF Application.
