This article provides an overview of the process for localizing Flash Lite applications. As mobile device usage continues to grow exponentially on a global scale, more Flash Lite developers are realizing the need to localize their mobile content into various languages. I’ll describe some common issues that you might encounter when translating mobile content, as well as describe some special case scenarios, such as working with bi-directional text in Flash Lite.

"Those of you who are interested in supporting localized text in your Flash Lite applications now have a new resource to help provide guidance and best practices. Today we've published a Flash Lite article about "Creating Bi-directional Text in Flash Lite" (including sample files) and it's definitely one topic that we've heard requests from developers about.
The author Samir Dash has done a great job of sharing his knowledge including how to separate the data and presentation layers for text and how a string of text can vary in length depending on the language being used. This is important if you're thinking about developing an application that can support more than one language.
I hope that the broader community starts to create more localized Flash Lite content now given Samir's article - if you create something please share it with the community by sending me an email with a short description and screen shots. We love to see what you guys are creating!"
