I have been researching the reply on an earlier message of mine ( And if your language is not included in the language packs? ) and wanted to ask more information but I seem to have hit on a bug in DNN forum.

When going to page 2 of this forum (Localize It), I get a distorted page with the threads under the adverts and only one thread on the page (mine). When clicking it, I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I realize this bug report does not belong in this here thread, but I mention it as the excuse why I start a new thread on the same subject.

I am still trying to figure out to get km-KH as localization option. Sebastian Leupold said that there was a msdn blog explaining how to add a language to ASP.NET. I have been browsing through msdn, searching with google and bing, and I found a lot of useful and interesting information, but not the article on how to add a new language to ASP.NET. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I actually only need to localize a few containers (text/HTML, blog, forum and the registration page) at this point. I have little knowledge of ASP.NET but I am comfortable with Windows forms applications in C# and VB. Patching the source code would probably be an easier solution than requesting my host to make changes to their setup.

The purpose of my efforts is to construct a website for a Cambodian university that in the future would enable distant learning and computer aided teaching. I hope to use the forum and the blog modules to achieve that, but I am willing to dig deeper into ASP programming and create a new module if these modules do not fulfill our needs. Yet, most of the university's staff (both administrative and academic) can use only Word and Excel (to some degree, templates, styles, mail-merging in Word or formulas in Excel are still outside their grasp). 

So, rather than spending all my time on solving the gotcha's in DNN (and ASP.NET), I wished I could spend more time on content creation and on education of our staff in the use of new technologies in education.

It took quite some time to read through the documentation and implement the necessary changes. Upgrading to ASP.NET 3.5 was not enough when that asp.net runs on a windows 2003 server.

The website now is hosted on a windows 7 machine under iis 7.5 and we are step by step translating the resource files. (Btw, in which resource file is the word "Pages" hidden?) DNN version is currently 5.01.04. I have tried to install 5.02.00 but I ran in trouble (again).

The website has Khmer and English US regionalization options and also has on some pages a mix of Khmer and English. In 5.01.04, all works perfectly together, and I am contemplating to install Ealo.

But when I switched to 5.02.00, Khmer text in a HTML module displayed as a string of question marks after returning from Khmer localization to English localization.

Disabling the content localization did not solve the problem. It must have something to do with content localization, I guess. I am kind of curious about what the ideas behind content localization are. In how far duplicate your ideas features from Ealo?

So, for the time being, I stay with 5.01.04 and see if 5.02.01 solves this.

Khmer still seems to be Microsoft's stepchild. Even in Windows 7, they haven't got it right yet.
