What resources are localizable?
  • Widget resources

  •  
    • All texts in the graphical user interface are localizable. Examples include menu label, dialog and windows title, tooltip strings, status text, etc.

    •  
    • URLs to localizable images. Note that it is the URL to the image that we will localize instead of the image data itself.

    •  
  • Content data. This includes both plain text and HTML tagged data.

  •  
  • Style information such as font, size, and color, may need to be localized. 
  • Geometric layout. We may need to modify the layout. For example, some English radio buttons are laid out horizontally, but their German version could make them too wide. 

  •  

     
    The rule of thumb is - "all resources that contribute to the appearance of the chrome are localizable".
