Post title: dotNet Ressource File Translator/Localizer Tool

This is a software tool that can be used to translate/localize dotNet resource files (.resx). We had it written to help us with some big contracts that involved hundreds of dotNet resource files. I worked nicely for us and I would love to get the opinion of colleagues that work in the same area about its usefulness.

It allows you to view:

The complete resource file,

A table with just the terms that need to be translated,
an indication what it is (e.g. menu item, label etc.)
and the (already entered) translation.

In the case where the resource is a Windows form it
also displays the form to allow you to check e.g. if
the string length is okay etc.

It does in its current version not allow you to edit resources that are included in dlls or executable files.

The program requires the dotNet Framework Ver. 1.1.

I have not yet finished the documentation, but it will be finished before the end of October.

If you are interested in the tool, contact me via my profile.
