Language "pt-PT" does not exist in this MessageManager instance

Hi,

We were having some problems with the Variation site of a Commerce 2009 Contemporary Site. It seems when errors happen the message doesnt get translated. These things happen for example when searching and presenting orders in Order History. In the root or en-US site they work ok. In MOSS logs we didnt find much information.

We have most of the functionality working on the pt variation but these 'errors' were stoping us from advancing.

We get something like this in event log:

Pipeline Error: Component Execution failed for component[0x9] hr: 0x1B5AA390 ProgID: Commerce.OrderDiscount.1 Language "pt-PT" does not exist in this MessageManager instance. And something like this: An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred and was caught.

Source : Commerce.MtsPipeline

We solved it by creating a MessageManager Resource dll, all info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms964360(CS.70).aspx

You can find rc.xml in commerce sdk, RCxml2resx in commerce tools, resgen and al in visual studio command prompt.

We lost some time with this, and this solved almost all our problems, it should be documented in the variations paper ;)
