# How to: Use Automatic Layout to Create a Button
|
|
This example describes how to use the automatic layout approach to create a button in a localizable application.
|
|
|
|
Localization of a [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_ui](../../../includes/tlasharptla-ui-md.md)] can be a time consuming process. Often localizers need to resize and reposition elements in addition to translating text. In the past each language that a [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_ui](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-ui-md.md)] was adapted for required adjustment. Now with the capabilities of [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_winclient](../../../includes/tlasharptla-winclient-md.md)] you can design elements that reduce the need for adjustment. The approach to writing applications that can be more easily resized and repositioned is called `automatic layout`.

|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
The following two [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] examples create applications that instantiate a button; one with English text and one with Spanish text. Notice that the code is the same except for the text; the button adjusts to fit the text.
