any localization support tools out there?
-
hello! as we all know, .NET supports localized resources just fine. but when it comes to translation of thousands of strings in all these resource files -- it's pain without good tools that can automate collection of strings in one place for translation, and then distributing translated string back to localized .resx files (possibly creating files for new cultures and adding them to projects to compile). similar approach is used in SharpDevelop project, but they do not publish the tool's sources, only describe its features and the process of localization. and it's easy to understand, why: this tool is fairly difficult to develop and almost anyone developing commercial software needs it. and at last, this is my question: anybody knows of any tools (free or not) with similar features?
