.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / September 2007Need advice on localization
Hi, We are developing a site that needs to be localized (english + spanish). The site has a lot of "static" pages with a lot of text, and some dynamic pages. We are unsure how to develop the static part. We could use a localize/literal control and stick content in a resx-file - but it could be several paragraphs in pure HTML and the text is not 100% static. It might change a few times a year. Another way is to have two html pages and some code to grap the right one based on culture, and stick the content in a literal.This solution would need some output caching - but thats not a problem. What would your advice be - resx (can we get a good resx editor to handle html?) or "our own solution"? Or do you have any alt. advice? Thanks Depending on the nature, a third option is to use a custom localization provider and a database. Michele Bustamante (look ma, no accents - yeah, I am being lazy) has a couple of great articles on MSDN on localization. They are worth a look. One includes localization using a database. If you go that route, you can use one of the free HTML editor controls to allow your editors to maintain the text for pages that way. I also like the HTML version, but would also consider a custom provider if you go this route, as ASP.NET will automagically do the work for you. :-)  SignatureGregory A.
