c# - How to translate the OlCategoryColor? -

i'm using microsoft.office.interop.outlook; allows me use olcategorycolor. in particular i've this:

dictionary<olcategorycolor, keyvaluepair<string, string>> categorycolor; categorycolor = new dictionary<olcategorycolor, keyvaluepair<string, string>>  {     {olcategorycolor.olcategorycolorred, new keyvaluepair<string, string>("#e7a1a2", "7")}  }; 

to name of color, this:

foreach (var outlookcolor in categorycolor) {    outlookcolor.key.tostring().remove(0, "olcategorycolor".length); } 

it returns red, possible take italian language or other languages?

here simple solution, may want tweak little depending on wherever want support many languages or italian:

public enum language {     english,     italian }  public static class localizationhelper {      private static idictionary<string, string> eng2italiancolor = new dictionary<string, string> {         { "red", "rosso" },         { "black", "nero" },         { "blue", "azzurro" },         // other ...     };      public static string getcolorname(olcategorycolor color, language language) {         var englishcolorname =              color.tostring().remove(0, "olcategorycolor".length);          if (language == language.english) {             return englishcolorname;         }         else if (language == language.italian) {             if (eng2italiancolor.containskey(englishcolorname))                 return eng2italiancolor[englishcolorname];             else                 throw new argumentexception(                     "missing translation english italian color: " + englishcolorname);         }         else {             throw new argumentexception("unsupported language: " + language);         }     } }  // use: var colorname =      localizationhelper.getcolorname(outlookcolor.key, language.italian); 

if google little maybe find ready translation table colors, used simple dict linux utility allows translate words command line.

depending on application writing, there may case need translate other strings/messages, in case should check tutorials on globalization solutions .net - create several resource files - 1 per language , use resourcemanager or other class load strings based on thread.currentculture. in case resource name may use e.g. color_red , each language provide appropriate translation. quick tutorial here: http://www.aspsnippets.com/articles/what-is-globalization-and-localization-and-their-differences-in-aspnet.aspx
