Advice on ASP.NET Multi-Lingual Strategy

Question

Hi brothers and sisters,

I am wondering if anyone would share their experience on what they think as the best strategy to enable dynamic multi-lingual system using .

Answer 1

we've had the same conundrum and New in Town has basically given the options.

why we went with the resx option, mainly is because in most cases, especially websites, all that needs to change is the static content, i.e. labels, UI elements. if you're working with VS, once you create a page, there is an option to create the resx files for you. This is found in the Generate Local Resource in the Tools options. This will pick up all elements that HAVE ids (this is important), and generate the first resx file for you. creating copies of that for different languages is pretty simple after that.

changing the language is as simple as changing your web.config. example

hope that helps
