Best practices for ASP.NET web application localization

Question

I'm developing a web application that will need to be localized to English and Portuguese (and possible more languages later). I'm aware that the .NET Framework offers full support for UI localization, however, I'm not so sure what's the best approach to implement it.

What do you consider the best practices for a web application localization?

Answer 1

Read ASP.NET Globalization and Localization and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization, both from MSDN. I have found that following the Microsoft practices on localization is easy and does the job.

Answer 2

Also have a look at

Globalization and Localization Demystified in ASP.NET 2.0

Pretty good coverage and explanation.
