I need to add dictionary facilities to an Asp.net MVC app. Does anyone know a library that I could use? Where can I get word definitions from?
Any help is appreciated.
it depends on what you want to do.
if you're trying to add a reference of an actual dictionary of words to use for your application then you'll have to create your own to define the words that you want to use.
if you're trying to find the library that contains the data type dictionary then you should try
System.Collections.Generic, or System.Collections.Specialized
If its still relevant for you, It's not a 'library' but on Dicts.info site you can find raw dictionary files you could use inside your application.
You can also find bilingual dictionaries for various languages or even categorized vocabulary, and even more...
Watch out to respect their respective licences.

I've been searching around, but I've yet to find a built-in way to get a list of language your particular symfony app supports (i.e., a list of languages that have translation files in the project). Pretty much every code sample I've seen has just hardcoded an array of supported languages, but I'd much prefer a dynamic solution. The only other way I can think of is to actually just look at the names of the messages.language.yml files, but I wanted to verify first that there isn't some built in way of doing this?
There is no built-in way.
The only way to discover all languages for which you have translation files is to look for all folders containing translations and grab the locales from files.
We have a couple of relatively simple websites running on Adobe CQ 5.5 that were developed by a third party. I'm pretty familiar with how CQ works, but I'm working with somebody else's code here and I need to be able to search through all components in the system for a particular string.
The issue is that I can't seem to find a way to search across all of the various .jsp files stored with the various system components. I would have figured that the query tool in CRXDE Lite would have done the trick with something like this:
/jcr:root//*[jcr:contains(., 'Find this exact string in a JSP')] order by #jcr:score
But I've had no luck.
What I am looking for is some sort of global search that includes JSP files. Is that possible? Were I using a regular Java system, any IDE worth the download would be able to do this.
Thanks.
Might not be easiest way, but you can use the VLT tool to checkout the repository into your filesystem. Then you can lookup using whatever tool you prefer. It might even be faster in the long run
I don't have the actual answer but I suppose the JSPs are indexed via a filter that strips out some of their content.
It should be possible to configure the repository to index them as is instead, based on the info at http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration and http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-text-extractors.html
Sorry about the vagueness of this answer - I know the basic principles but to provide the details I would need more time than I can afford now ;-)
I'm building a web app that's going to support multiple languages. For the moment, the words are hard-coded in English in the HTML and javascript. I want to use objects that contains the English word as the key and the word to be displayed as the value and have this dictionary object populate the page at runtime. But my question is not about client-side issues.
What's the best way to store and maintain this dictionary on the server. So far, I thought of a database table with columns for the English word and rows for the values to be displayed. I would then load an entire row in an anonymous type that I'd serialize in json and send the client. I think it'd work but I'm wondering if that's the best way to do it so that the dictionary will be easy to maintain.
If you've had some experience dealing with internationalization then please let me know if you have some suggestions.
Thanks.
You can use Resouce files for multiple language support for asp.net web. It is THE BEST method to use for multiple language support in asp.net. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fw69ke6f%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
what has to be done for including Localization Concepts?
may i get the source code for each & every steps to be done?
is it necessary to include the resource files?
what has to be entered in the String & in the Value column while creating the Resource File?
What has to be done for including Localization Concepts?
The first step is to actually understand these concepts... You may want to read about it here:
Effective Strategies for Localization in .NET
May I get the source code for each & every steps to be done?
Oh dear... Such question is too broad and could be closed as not answerable. You would found plenty of examples and tutorials online. Just read them and ask specific questions about things you do not understand. But first, please try to search these questions using your favorite search provider (most of them were answered, some probably multiple times).
Is it necessary to include the resource files?
It is not necessary. However, for most of applications it is both easiest and fastest method. And simply the best method. And the only one which is really easy.
What has to be entered in the String & in the Value column while creating the Resource File?
In the first column you would need to put resource identifier - unique key that would identify your translatable string. Depending on Localization method you would choose, it could have different forms (for implicit Localization it is best to keep it as control_identifier.property_name, where control_identifier is a string you put in ID attribute and property_name is name of the property you want to translate, i.e. lblName.Text). In the Value column you need to put your translatable string.
Is it possible to programmatically generate an info path 2007 form template (xsn file=form definition) ?
I know that there is no object model for the infopath 2007 form designer, but does anyone know of any third party libraries?
The form view itself is a xsl file so it should be possible. I would have thought that its a common use case also.
It is possible to generate the manifest.xsf, xsl and xml files from a structured source (let's say an xml) and then pack this (as .cab) with the extension .xsn
(The .xsn file is nothing but a renemed .cab!)
This is only a raw concept - it could be refined if the purpose was a bit more explicit. Why generate? Are you going to create a bunch of different files? What for?
There are no libraries or API's to do this. While generating a template is possible you will need to write it all yourself. Obviously this will not be an easy task and will be prone to errors. I would recommend reviewing your requirements to ensure this is truly necessary. InfoPath is quite flexible, without knowing the details of your project, there is a good chance you can get the functionality you need with a single template.
