How to do ASP.net website in english and Arabic - asp.net

Question

I can do the multilingual website in asp.net when language is similar ( dir=ltr for example English, Spanish, French). I would like to know how to do the same when one language dir=ltr (English) and other language dir=rtl (Arabic).
I would appreciate if some one can link to a resource which can show how to do this step by step as along with themes one for English and other for Arabic..
I am using ASP.Net 4.0 .
I would appreciate any help in this area and if someone can provide me with a two page example that would be great.

Answer 1

you can try like this ...
It is easy to develop multi language supported web site using ASP.NET . Just follw that step by step.
1.Take a new web site
2.Add “App_GlobalResources” from ASP.NET folders
3.Take a *.resx file (Strings.resx)
4.Enter Name and values
5.Make different *.resx file for different languages and name like that Strings.en-US.resx (for US english), Strings.fr-FR.resx (for
French). Make as many language file you needed
6.Now time for calling and using language from web page You website Solution Explorer will look like below image...
Default.aspx file will look like that
<asp:Label ID=”lblName” runat=”server” Text=”Label”></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID=”lblDesc” runat=”server” Text=”Label”></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID=”lblComments” runat=”server” Text=”Label”></asp:Label>
<asp:LinkButton ID=”lnkEnglish” runat=”server” OnClick=”lnkEnglish_Click”>English</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID=”lnkFrench” runat=”server” OnClick=”lnkFrench_Click”>French</asp:LinkButton>
Codes of Default.aspx.cs
private ResourceManager rm;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CultureInfo ci;
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(“en-US”);
rm = new ResourceManager(“Resources.Strings”, Assembly.Load(“App_GlobalResources”));
ci = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;LoadData(ci);
}
else
{
rm = new ResourceManager(“Resources.Strings”,Assembly.Load(“App_GlobalResources”));
ci = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;LoadData(ci);
}
}
protected void lnkEnglish_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(“en-US”);
LoadData(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture);
}
protected void lnkFrench_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(“fr-FR”);
LoadData(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture);
}
public void LoadData(CultureInfo ci)
{
lblName.Text = rm.GetString(“EventName”, ci);
lblDesc.Text = rm.GetString(“EventDescription”, ci);
lblComments.Text = rm.GetString(“EventComments”,ci);
}
