This program uses the Multilingual App Toolkit 4.0 to provide translation support.

Applying translations

When a translation CSV is updated in the Translations/ folder, some manual work needs to be done in order to apply the translation to the program.

1. Open the CSV file in an editor (Excel), and the related *.xlf file in the Multilingual toolkit.
2. Copy and paste new/changed translations to their equivalent resource in the multilingual toolkit.
3. Build the solution and make sure all resource files have been automatically updated.
