L10NSharp.Windows.Forms is a .NET localization library for Windows Forms applications. It collects strings which need localization when your application first runs and saves them in a XLIFF file. It can also dynamically collect strings at runtime.

SIL.Windows.Forms.Keyboarding

The SIL.Windows.Forms.Keyboarding library provides cross-platform functionality for keyboard selection and switching in Windows Forms applications. Currently, this library supports system and Keyman keyboards on Windows, and X keyboard extension (XKB) and Intelligent Input Bus (IBus) keyboards on Linux.

SIL.Windows.Forms

SIL.Windows.Forms contains Windows Forms classes for UI elements (controls and dialogs) that are commonly used across various SIL applications. SIL.Windows.Forms is similar to SIL.Core in that it does not contain classes that are specific to any domain.

SIL.Chorus.FLExBridge

Library that allows multiple FieldWorks users to collaborate remotely (i.e., not necessarily connected by a local network).

SIL.ChorusPlugin.LibFLExBridge

Library that allows multiple FieldWorks users to collaborate remotely (i.e., not necessarily connected by a local network).

Changes since version 10.0.0

Added:
- [L10NSharp] Added pseudolocalization support: lookups for the standard `qps-ploc` pseudo-locale (`LocalizationManager.PseudoLocalizationLanguageId`) return the English text pseudolocalized at runtime (e.g. `[Tîitlée Mîissîing]`), so testers can spot non-internationalized strings and layout problems. Set `LocalizationManager.OfferPseudoLocalization = true` to include it in the offered UI languages; `LocalizationManager.PseudoLocalize(string)` exposes the transform directly. The SampleApp turns this on, so you can see it in action. See `src/L10NSharp/Pseudo/README.md`.
- [L10NSharp] Added two new public on-the-fly translators, `MicrosoftTranslator` and `MyMemoryTranslator`, subclassing the now-public `TranslatorBase`. They were introduced as the fail-safe translators behind `LanguageChoosingDialog` (see "Fixed", below), but are general-purpose and usable directly for similar ad hoc localization needs: `MyMemoryTranslator` needs no configuration (free, keyless, ~5,000 characters/day/IP quota); `MicrosoftTranslator` is an opt-in wrapper around the Azure AI Translator v3 REST API, configured via `MicrosoftTranslator.SubscriptionKey`/`.Region` or the `L10NSHARP_TRANSLATOR_KEY`/`L10NSHARP_TRANSLATOR_REGION` environment variables.

Changed:
- BREAKING CHANGE: [L10NSharp] [L10NSharp.Windows.Forms] [SampleApp] [CheckOrFixXliff] [ExtractXliff] Replaced the `net461` target framework with `net462`. The `System.Resources.Extensions` version raised transitively by the `SIL.ReleaseTasks` upgrade (above) no longer ships a `net461`-specific assembly, so `net461` is no longer a supported or tested target. Projects that still need to target `net461` should continue using the last release built for it, or upgrade to at least `net462`.

Fixed:
- [L10NSharp.Windows.Forms] Fixed `LanguageChoosingDialog`'s fail-safe, on-the-fly translation of its title/message/OK button, which had been silently broken since the Bing/Microsoft Translator v1 SOAP API it used was retired. It now uses the free, keyless MyMemory Translation API by default; host apps that want more robust translation can opt in to the new public `MicrosoftTranslator` class (Azure AI Translator v3) by setting a subscription key (see "Added", above). See [#163](https://github.com/sillsdev/l10nsharp/issues/163). The SampleApp has a "Show Language Chooser" button so you can see it in action without needing to fake a missing-locale scenario.

Removed:
- [L10NSharp.Windows.Forms] Removed the internal `BingTranslator` class and its generated WCF service reference, along with the `System.ServiceModel`/`System.Security.Cryptography.Xml` dependencies they required, since the API they called has been retired. See "Fixed", above.

Security:
- [L10NSharp] [L10NSharp.Windows.Forms] [CheckOrFixXliff] [ExtractXliff] Upgraded `SIL.ReleaseTasks` from 2.5.0 to 3.3.0. This also raises the resolved version of `System.Resources.Extensions` (a transitive dependency of `SIL.ReleaseTasks`) from 6.0.0 to 10.0.11. Note: `SIL.ReleaseTasks` 3.3.0 has a known, build-time-only dependency on a vulnerable `Newtonsoft.Json` (via a temporary revert of its own `SIL.Core` dependency, pending an upstream `Mono.Unix` packaging issue) — per the upstream maintainers this is not an exploitable runtime risk, since the package is build-tool-only and never ships in L10nSharp's own output, and no L10nSharp or SIL.ReleaseTasks build step feeds it untrusted JSON. See [sillsdev/SIL.BuildTasks#88](https://github.com/sillsdev/SIL.BuildTasks/pull/88) for details.
