MSDN Code Gallery launches Localized Hotfix Pages

VSTO Team — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 22:03:07 GMT

All of the Visual Studio and .NET Framework hotfixes that are publicly available on MSDN Code Gallery are now localized in the following languages: French, Spanish, Italian, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. You can browse the list of Hotfixes on MSDN CodeGallery here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/ProjectDirectory.aspx?TagName=Hotfix. MSDN Code Gallery allows the community to provide feedback on our hotfixes and they can stay informed when a new hotfix is released by subscribing to the following RSS feed: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/rss.ashx?behavior=bytag&TagName=Hotfix. You can customize your RSS feed by adding additional tags, such as “Visual Studio 2008.” The Hotfixes will not necessarily be tagged with “VSTO” if they pertain to Office development because that is not part of the Hotfix taxonomy of tags. The Hotfixes are usually just tagged with the version of Visual Studio or the version of the .NET Framework, and often not tagged with the sub-part of the feature within VS.

Below, we’ve highlighted how the translation options appear in each hotfix resource page. When a community member selects a language, it will take them to a resource page where they can read the localized KB article content and details for the hotfix they’ve selected. The full description of the Hotfix is documented in a Knowledge Base (KB) article on the Help and Support site. The KB article and the Hotfix download pages are cross referenced and circled in red.

Below you can see the same page in Simplified Chinese, with the link to the KB article circled in red:

Welcome to the updated Visual Studio Tools for Office 3.0 Blog!

Hello, my name is Christin Boyd and I'm one of the Program Managers for Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system. Welcome to our new Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) blog. This URL replaces the old blogs.msdn.com/vsto2 site which was focused on VSTO 2.x, which included VSTO 2005 and VSTO 2005 Second Edition, and some information about VS 2008 while it was in Beta.

Over the coming weeks and months, we'll collect the best VSTO code snippets and insider information from our team, and from the Forum, user groups, Web sites, and other related resources to help you get the most out of VSTO.

If you have a question, please post it to our MSDN Forum. The VSTO product team, a support engineer, and our MVPs answer dozens of questions on the Forum every day.

VSTO documentation is available on the Web in the MSDN Library Online.

Other bloggers on the VSTO team include Misha Shneerson, John R. Durant, Eric Carter and Thomas Quinn to name a few. Be sure to visit their blogs as well.
