This is a WPF/SL app, but this would apply elsewhere.

I have a contextually sensitive help message that directs the user if they run into a situation of no content. In the middle I want to place an icon that corresponds to a toolbar button that could also be used. I’m trying to create image recognition with the user to the action and the icon.

Here’s what it looks like:

Click New button [icon here] to begin creating your first thing in this area.

Unfortunately the order of works in different langauges wouldn’t put the icon between ‘button’ and ‘to’. How have others solved this situation?

[UPDATE] To further explain the problem, many languages do not translate such that ‘Click New Button’ would come before ‘to begin creating your first…’. Instead the words are mixed.

    Can you localize the entire string (including the resource path) for each language in an order that makes sense? Or maybe have the icon always in the same place (i.e. at the beginning of the sentence or at the end)?

    Like, if you’re localizing for Yoda-speak, can you localize the entire sentence to:

    [image] Here you will click for the creation of your first thing.

    I don’t know how your resources are set up, but you should be able to include the full Uri in the resx.
