I'm writing XNA game and want my game to support 12 different languages

I'm writing XNA game and want my game to support 12 different languages and be visible in all the respective markets where users speak those 12 languages. I Develop my game in English
language.
So what are my next steps? I've seen examples for Silverlight, but I develop in XNA. Basically, what is the difference between globalization
and localization? Which one should I use? Will I have to produce 12 different .xap builds or one universal?
Please help....
Thanks in Abvance

This is covered on MSDN:
How to: Create a Localized Game
And this sample:
http://xbox.create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/sample/localization
"Globalization" is the process of making a piece of software 'language-neutral' so you can translate it into many languages. Primarily this is making sure all text is in a resource file rather than hard-coded in the source, all display/layout of
text is robust with sufficient room, and all art/sound assets with language/locale-specific content are isolated and known.
"Localization" is the process of actually translating the assets to a specific language.
This is not specific to XNA Game Studio, and the solution there is general to all C# applications. The main challenge for XNA Game Studio is making sure have spritefonts captured for all the languages you support. This can be particularly challenging for
very large character fonts which are too large to capture all into a single texture sheet.
See Developing International Software (MS Press) for a general book.

You should be able to add photos to an existing album it like this:
While viewing thumbnails in the "Photos" view, tap "Select", select the photos, tap Add To, then select the album.

Not really, the reviews associated with a regional App Store are not offered in translation. You can try a copy and paste into Google/translate to get a translation that is often pretty rough. Changing stores/country/region is tedious and the specific reviews may not be given in a different store.

I am writing an applescript and want to paste the clipboard contents into a new file that opens in TextMate. This is what I have so far. The paste is NOT working...

This is what I have so far:
tell application "Google Chrome"
view source of active tab of window 1 -- Or whichever tab you want
delay 3
          repeat while loading of active tab of window 1
delay 3
          end repeat
select all of active tab of window 1 -- Must *always* be the active tab
copy selection of active tab of window 1
delay 3
--          delete tab (active tab index of window 1) of window 1
end tell
delay 1
tell application "TextMate-1.5.9"
activate
open
paste
end tell
Paste is not working.

This works, I am sure that there is a more elegant way??

New PC and want to move library to a different drive location from original PC

I've just built my self a new PC and would like to move my iTunes music to my new PC.
I know this is a pretty straight forward thing to do as I have done it on more than one occassion before without any hassle.
It's a little different this time though, I need to move the libary to a different drive from the default location as my C: drive is an SSD and can't fit my entire libary on it.
I've got my iTunes music folder backed up on an external drive, I thought it would just be a case of installing iTunes on my new PC copying my music to the drive I want it on and telling iTunes that this will be my new storage location.
After a bit of playing around I managed to get iTunes to see all my music again.
I'm having trouble getting it to find my cover artwork though and my old ratings and playlist count.
Does anyone know how to restore these?
Also do I have to have 2 iTunes fodlers on the computer? 1 in the stanard C: drive loaction and 1 where I now have all my music. Can I not just have it all on the 2nd drive?
If I copy the 4 libary files from my backup into the new folder it gives me my old ratings and playlist count back but loses all the artwork and most of the files have broken links to them.
Sorry if I've not explained what I am trying to say very clearly, thanks for any help.

In iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Advanced turn off Keep iTunes Media folder organized, then click OK.
Use Edit > Preferences > Advanced to change the media folder location to D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media, then click OK. If iTunes asks to consolidate or move any files at this point say no or cancel.
Open the menu File > Library > Organize Library... tick Rearrange files in the folder "iTunes Media", and click OK.
In iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Advanced turn on Keep iTunes Media folder organized, then click OK.
Open the menu File > Library > Organize Library... tick Consolidate files, and click OK.
This should rearrange the media folder into the current structure with the minimum amount of physical file moves.
At this stage you should find that iTunes is now looking for your mobile apps at D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications. Check the properties of a single app just to make sure. If all is well you can reclaim the space on C:.
If it were me at this stage I would now close iTunes, then copy the library files and album artwork folder from wherever they are on C: into D:\Music\iTunes then shift-start-iTunes and choose the library at D:\Music\iTunes. It is at this point that the library is now truly portable.
Having made that work I would then close iTunes, move the iTunes folder up to D:\iTunes and shift-start-iTunes to open it, but that's my preference.

HT201274 How do I change the registration of my ipod? I bought a new ipod and want to register it under a different name.

I just bought a new ipod and when I plugged it in to register it, the name of my son's ipod appeared. How do I change the registration so that I can make it my own?

It sounds like yu either restored it from a backup of your son's iPod or you set it up via iTunes with iTunes signed into his account.
I would go to Settings>General>Reset>Ease all content and settings and then set it up with your account. If you do it via iTunes make sure that iTunes is signed into your account.

Documents preview and print in arabic as well as different languages.

Hello we are using Adobe reader 9.0. We have a internet application that prepares our mortgage documents using Adobe 7,8,9. Some of the document looks good but parts are arabic amongst other languages. It appears to be a font issue. When printing as well we have to print these documents as images.

Hello,
Absolutely great that your system is a Unicode system. So you can do as following.
1. Type in the text in Unicode encoding. I am not sure the software which you are using to type in Arabic is supporting Unicode.
So just to test whether it supports Unicode try copying the Arabic text in notepad/word and check whether those words are copied properly or not. If yes then go ahead keeping them in the SO10 Object.
If the Arabic text are rendered as boxes or question mark then the problem is with your typing software.
2. After keeping the text in the SO10. You can print it by normal include command in the script.
If you are still not able to print them then you need to check the printer configuration with help of SPAD transaction.
Just ensure the printer character set in Attributes Tab is 4110 and UTF-8 encoding. If not then contact your basis team to change these settings.
Try it and do let me know.
Cheers
Ajay

You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

I have a credit card on file in my I tunes account, but I have been using gift cards for years. iTunes has never hit my credit card if I had enough money on my account with the gift cards.
The money should be taken from your account, if you have sufficient funds in the account. If your purchase goes over the amount that you have in the account, the entire purchase will be put on your credit card, even if you are only pennies over the account balance.
