Multilingual Support in C#

Introduction

The computer is now in use in almost all parts of the world so much work is in progress to give support to languages other than English. Many major languages of the world like Arabic, Hindi and Chinese are not written in Roman Script, so special features are provided for dealing with these languages. This article will tell how to implement multilingual application using C#. Our Example Script will be Arabic. But it can be generalized to any major language of the world.

    I think the reason is that the string stored in the database is not in unicode, whereas chinese or Urdu or any such language needs unicode or some Font for rendering. If it shows ??? it means that the current viewer or the database does not support unicode.


    Hope that solved your problem.
