Localization of ASP.NET MVC websites with GNU Gettext?

Question

Hi,

This might be an unusual question, but is there any framework or at least some helper classes that would help me use GNU Gettext for localizing a C# ASP.NET MVC website? I've been using Gettext in a previous (managed code) project and really appreciate the possibility to use PoEdit for translating the resources.

I guess this would mean coding a few HtmlHelper extension methods that can extract the resource strings from Gettext. There even seems to be some kind of C# gettext wrapper, but I wasn't able to find a manual or tutorial. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Adrian

Answer 1

The Mono Project website has a tutorial on how to use gettext in a C# application.

Also this post covers the specific subject of this question, although it doesn't make clear how it obtains the catalog in managed-land: http://weblogs.manas.com.ar/spalladino/2009/10/01/using-gnu-gettext-for-i18n-in-c-and-asp-net/
