Q: 

Localization with xml without compilation?

I am looking for the best way to implement a winform with different languages, but i don't want to use the resources files of Visual Studio because you always have to recompile.

I have found the following solution to use XML files without compilation: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/xml_localization.aspx

I find it is OK, users can edit the xml and in the future they could provide my application with translations.

Do you know a better way for this?

+1  A: 

Instead of defining your own XML-based internalization system you could go the standard way by using one such as Translation Memory eXchange format.

Could you provide some class or tool to implement this?

We implemented our own language manager libraries to implement runtime language switch for our application. We develop in Java but the same should apply to your environment.I don't currently know about a framework that uses TMX for C# applications, but developing a new one shouldn't be so hard.
