January Topic – Mobile Localization Strategies and General Q&A
QONQR (pronounced Conquer) is a mobile game built using Xamarin. This 2 developer company supports applications on Windows Phone, Android and iPhone with a complex Azure cloud platform. QONQR is now available in 7 languages, with translations crowdsourced from the players. In this talk we’ll discuss the challenges of supporting an application in multiple languages, UI design, translator coordination, and the unexpected technical challenges. Out of the box solutions available in .Net can cause significant negative side effects. We’ll discuss how to avoid them and will demo how to integrate the Microsoft Multilingual App Toolkit into your cross platform solution. Finally, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask any question on this 2.5 year Xamarin Forms project. The application interface is so custom, not a single Xamarin Forms Button control exists in the application. Nearly every control has been custom built from raw UI elements or extended to allow for maximum control of both style and performance. Come prepared for a candid Q&A discussion of what works well and what doesn’t, when you push Xamarin Forms to the maximum limit of its capabilities.
