A very old bug with localization then changing password

The text button captions simply are not visible in any culture different from en-us. As I can see from the source code the feature is simply not implemented with localization in mind. Hope that in the future there will be some time to vanquish this very old bug. I simply post it in hope to add this to an imaginary Joe's to-do list.

Hi Bob,

I'm not sure what source code you are referring to in coming to this conclusion but I believe you are incorrect. On my local machine running windows if I vist the /Secure/ChangePassword.aspx page and I change my browser preferred language to Russian and refresh the page I see Russian characters for the labels and buttons and I recall that I did take localization into account when implementing it.

I do remember a bug like this on mono at one time so if you are seeing this on linux that is most likey a regression in mono, probably in their implementation of <asp:ChangePassword control.

If you are changing the default cutlure in Web.config to something other than en-US then you must make certain that the culture you choose has no missing keys in the resource file(s) as that could cause the blank labels and buttons or could even cause null reference exceptions.

Hi, Joe. 

You're  absolutely right. It's a Mono bug. Now I can see  it's all right with .NET 2.0.

Best regards, bob.
