Hi!

Is there any good solution for translating an resx file?  
My case is as following:  

I have a windows application running on 2 different languages.  In each form
I've set localization to true, and included neccessary language files  as
MyForm.nb-NO.resx etc.  I now need to  add serveral other languages,
languages I don't speak.  

I think that the best solution is to outsource this job to an expert, (a
translator).  But I don't wish that the translater should works inside my
development environment.

I hope I've made my case and my self understood.  any Idea how I should
solve my problem?

Hans,

you might check out MSDN Library's wisdom regarding "Winres.exe".

This tool will enable third party localizors to create localized .resx-files (e.g. "MyForm.nb-NO.resx") based upon a .resx-file
belonging to the neutral culture which you will hand over to them (e.g. "MyForm.resx").

However, mind a distinct drawback of using Winres.exe:

The localized .resx-files created by the third party localizors using Winres.exe can NOT be used directly by (or edited from within)
the IDE.

To embed the .resx-files created by Winres.exe you will have to convert them to .resources-files (via Resgen.exe) and afterwards
link or embed the resulting .resources-files via the Assembly Linker (al.exe) to your satellite assemblies (which is a challenge of
its own).

Thus, mind the alternative:

Handing over the neutral strings in any form to your localizors, taking the resulting localized strings and creating the respective
.resx-files by yourself from within the IDE.

Best regards

Rolf
