The ResEx application was developed to be a composite, translation friendly .NET Resource editor. It provides a straightforward environment that a translator can user to translate resources in a human friendly way, but at the same time safe for the .NET compiler that will later use the result.
Developers can create resource files for translators to translate by specifying at the same time features like locked resources (not to be translated), max length for specific strings etc. At the same time ResEx makes sure that string with place holders ({0},{1} etc.) or shortcut characters (&) are translated correctly.
Here are some key features of "ResEx":
· Translate values side by side (just like the old time classic VB6 resource editor)
· Lock specific strings so that translator does not translate them
· Restrict length of translating strings
· Ensure correct translation of strings with placeholders {0} {1} ...
· Warnings about shortcut characters (string containing &)
· View resource strings in tree form
· Translate resources without Visual Studio IDE
· Search inside resource files while translating
· Word Count to help estimation of translation cost
· Compatible with both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008
Requirements:
· NET Framework
