Localization in ASP.NET never worked for me !

Question

I'm facing a strange issue, I'm trying to localize a website, so i converted it to a web application and generated resx file for each aspx and ascx file i have ( pagename.en.resx ..etc)

however the localization never worked with me. one thing to mention that when i open the resx files in the designer mode i find "Access Modifier" dropdown enabled on the upper right, on sample projects that works successfully i find the "Access Modifier" dropdown disable ?

Your suggestions are very much appreciated !

Answer 1

Stupid question: you mention pagename.en.resx, but are those really pagename.aspx.resx (for the default) and pagename.aspx.xx.resx for other languages?

How did you generate the resx files?

Answer 2

• Try also declaring the culture:

• Make sure that your browser settings include English as a language.

If that doesn't help, can you post some of the code of your aspx/ascx file in which you use localization?

Answer 3

Resolved ! the issue was as follows : I defined resources files with language prefix : resourcefile.en.resx , resourcefile.jp.resx however ASP.NET requires a generic resource file like resourcefile.resx

Thank you all !
