Test Your Applications Against Localized Emulator Images
We ship Windows Mobile devices across the world localized into many different languages. As an application developer you may be wondering how your application is going to run on a Chinese Smartphone or a Germany Pocket PC. Well if you are you can download localized emulator images that integrate to eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003. There are many MANY different languages supporte. You might want to think about testing against a representative sample of languages and territories. For example if you tested against Englsih, German and Japanese you would get a good feel for how your application ran on a character based device and in a non-English European language.
