Need you to develop an engine or proof of concept, that we can plug into our existing Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or newer projects to support localization or internationalization.
The projects involve both Winforms for desktop Windows apps & Webforms for Web projects to be preferably done in MS Visual [login to view URL] latest version. We need 2 possible alternatives or ways to achieve this feature in both a Winform & Webform project solutions (4 solutions). All solutions will read MS Windows OS current localization setting and a manual way to change the setting in a running system. Once set, the system will support automatic text conversions from base US English texts to the 'local' language text in at least the following 3 scenarios. (If we have missed some other situations that may occur, please specify & include that also). Storing pre-converted texts in different languages to be used in the provided solution by you, is strongly discouraged. We prefer to use something like Google translation tool or MS Phone 8 tool that should be part of the engine you will build, but the app should not need connection to Google or other translation services via internet & should be very fast processing.
1. Hardcoded texts in code that may be shown on a form
2. Text that is part of visual controls on the form.
3. Text that is resident in a MS SQL Server database table that eventually shows on a form.
Our current 2 solutions in place are - RSX based or requires hard coding. They have following limitations (which your solution should eliminate) -
1. Only pre-defined languages supported
2. Requires manual work for translation & storage of multi-lingual text
3. Requires coding changes to implement any GUI related work or text changes.
Make it so that this can be impregnated into our existing projects with minimal effort. You are welcome to suggest any other ideas to make it a good technological solution. Use of any non-Microsoft product as a part of this solution, is not preferred. However, we may consider it under some conditions.
Provide us an estimate of time & cost. The budget is flexible. DO NOT PROVIDE ANY IRRELEVANT INFO IN YOUR RESPONSE APPLICATION. PROVIDE data RELATED TO WHAT IS REQUIRED HERE ONLY. ANYTHING ELSE WILL RESULT IN REJECTION & POOR FEEDBACK TO YOU.
Complete source code with detailed documentation for this project, need to be submitted to us on daily basis. Provide adequate support after it is delivered to integrate into our projects. At least one of each of desktop (winform) & Web (webform) projects integration support by you, will be required. The code & all deliverables will become our property.
We expect a week time of delivery from you after we award. There will be 2 submissions by you - a beta & final. Submit after thorough testing or with a list of action items. We have allowed for testing of your submission by us for 2 times only on our end. If we have to do more testing, or you do not follow testing protocol, it will be done on your time. Provide us with rough milestones tied to payments. No upfront.
Delays in delivery will cause problems for our project. Define what should be done if there is a delay by us or yourself in delivering whatever is required for a timely, successful completion of project.
Only serious contenders need to apply & we shall assume you have fully understood, comply & accept all conditions, unless specified otherwise. We expect response from you within 24-hours of the querry. Your bid needs to stay valid for a month after submittal.
interested to work on this project. have good experience with global distribution application development. with windows and web application both. can work with best methodology for enterprise level applications.
initially i understand your requirement from the description. we can discuss in detail for a better deal.
