This is a great idea. I'd seen examples of Microsoft's pseudo-localization before (Device Manager anyone? :)) but hadn't thought about integrating it into my WPF app. I already use a RESX approach with a custom ResourceManager that can read and write .resx files at runtime for in-app localization (editing strings in the app), override resources, and on the fly language switching. I also created a LocalizedViewModel base class with an indexer that returns localized strings for the most concise code and XAML, for example {Binding [btnEditLanguage]}. Anyway, it seems like it should be easy to add pseudo-localization to my system... I'll definitely give this a shot when I get back to localization (someday). Thanks for the tip!Anonymous
