Smart Construction supports localization of both the client user interface and the messages returned to the client from the server, such as error or warning messages. Strings used for display in the user interface are stored in a resource file (.resx).
The resource files can be edited to add the foreign text strings and then compiled into a binary resource DLL. This DLL is then placed in the proper location on the client and server computers, so Smart Construction uses the proper DLL based on the locale settings of the computer.
