re: Translated Captions for Silverlight Videos – It is Dynamic!

Using WebMatrix, you could add a select box containing your two char language value and a submit button that posts back the page. When the page is posted back you could get the language value using @Request["lang"] where "lang" is the name of the select box.

Here's some sample code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

@if (IsPost) {

@MediaPlayerCC.GetHtml(

xapFilePath: "media/MediaPlayerCC.xap",

mediaFilePath: "media/WalkthroughDynamicDataScaffolding.wmv",

captionFilePath: "media/ExampleCaptions.xml",

sourceLanguage: "en",

newLanguage: @Request["lang"],

translationAppID: "0993C13B8F696F9B1058DB64AA92E33AC841CFE9",

width: "100%",

height: "800");

}

else {

</select>

}

</form>

</body>

</html

For the second issue, try first running on your local machine. Are you able to create the translated caption files using the code? If you are able to create the files on your local machine but not on your server, then your server may not allow your application to create files. I believe you could change that in IIS. If the files are being created but you do not see the translated text, make sure you are correctly pointing to your caption file. For this example code, you should place your media file, caption file and .xap file in the same directory.
