    • Multi-Language command in Tools menu

    Posted by Phil on Fri 28 of May, 2010 22:22 GMT Germany

    Recently, my sales have gone down, but now I might have found the reason. Somehow, the logic to add the Multi-Language Add-In to the Tools menu in Visual Studio was broken.

    Usually the menu command is created the first time the Add-In is loaded, and stays there until you remove it. If the menu command was already present, then you wouldn't even notice this error.

    For new users, the menu command would not be present. This would make the Add-In more or less unusable!frown (You could start it via the Add-In manager, but that is hardly obvious for most users.)

    So, I hope that my sales pick up now. biggrin

    Noticed that when we were rolling out VS2010. ML add-in simply didn't appear under Tools menu, we added it manually thou and works just as well. As you said, this might not be too obvious for new users thou! Fingers crossed for sales picking up wink

    Unfortunately, as I have just learned, this problem is not completely fixed.

    It may work correctly with an English version of Visual Studio, but it does not appear to work with a German version. This might be because the Tools menu is called Extras.

    Obviously, I will try to fix this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you can configure the command yourself, as follows. Right click on the menu or on a toolbar, and select Customize from the context menu. Select the second tab in the dialog (Commands). In the list on the left hand side (Categories), select AddIns. The command "Multi-Language Add-In" should appear in the list on the right hand side. Using the mouse, simply drag this command out of the dialog and into the Tools menu. The menu will open automatically when you drag the command over it. Of course, you can place it on a different menu if you like.

    This sequence works with Visual Studio 2008. I think that it is different with Visual Studio 2010, but I can't try that out right now.
