In the fast-paced world of software development, having the right tools can make the difference between a project that struggles and one that soars. Released in December 2022, stands as a landmark release for one of the industry's most respected development platforms. This version doesn't just increment the version number—it introduces transformative capabilities for developers working across .NET, JavaScript, and emerging platforms like .NET MAUI, all while offering robust multilingual support for reaching global audiences.
DirectX support ensures that complex grids and charts remain fluid.
4.6/5 Best for: .NET Enterprise teams building complex line-of-business (LOB), data-dense, or reporting-heavy applications. Not ideal for: Small startups needing simple UI or developers avoiding large third-party dependencies.
The primary mechanism for translating DevExpress applications is the online DevExpress Localization Service. Developers can log in, select their target version (22.2), and choose from dozens of pre-translated languages or modify specific string keys manually.

DevExpress Universal 22.2 Multilingual represents a significant milestone in cross-platform software development, offering a massive suite of UI controls, reporting tools, and framework components designed to build enterprise-grade applications. As businesses expand globally, the requirement for high-performance, accessible, and properly localized user interfaces has grown exponentially. This release directly addresses these challenges by combining advanced UI capabilities with robust localization mechanisms.
However, the subscription cost, learning curve, and binary footprint mean you should evaluate whether your team genuinely needs the full Universal suite or could use a lighter alternative. For new projects starting in 2025, consider the latest 24.2 release instead—but if you inherit a 22.2 codebase, you’re in safe, capable hands. In the fast-paced world of software development, having
When LumenSoft won a contract to modernize a multinational client's legacy system, the codebase read like a palimpsest of different eras. The client insisted on multilingual support: English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Arabic. Maria, the lead frontend engineer, chose DevExpress Universal 22.2 for its rich control set and cross-platform reach.
Developers should be aware that built-in localized resources may be incomplete. The DevExpress Localization Service offers community-sourced translations that may require verification before being incorporated into production applications. DevExpress recommends verifying accuracy before integrating resources into software projects.
The primary and recommended method for localizing DevExpress applications is through the use of . Satellite assemblies are .NET DLL files that contain localized resources (strings, images, etc.) for a specific culture. Version 22.2 introduced a streamlined process for managing these resources through its installer. The Unified Component Installer now includes an optional feature to install pre-built localized resources for major languages, including German (DE) , Spanish (ES) , and Japanese (JA) . DirectX support ensures that complex grids and charts

The Web Report Designer now features custom report templates in the Report Wizard and improved Data Source UI, making it easier to create complex reports. Furthermore, the DevExpress.Drawing graphics library now utilizes SkiaSharp for .NET 6/7 and Linux support, allowing cross-platform reporting. 4. .NET MAUI & Web API Enhancements
