English to french asp.net resource file translation

Question

I have a asp.net resouce language file in english and I have to translate that resource file into french. how can this be achieved? There are lot of values on the resource file that needs to be translated.

is there any sample available on how this can be done by using google language translation or something?

Answer 1

Google Translate will do the job. It has a limit on the number of requests it'll accept within a given period of time.

I've used it to translate a web site from Japanese Kanji to English. It did pretty well.

Answer 2

pay a translator, and to edit the resource files there's Zeta Resource Editor which is pretty usefull

Answer 3

1. Copy the entire contents of your resource file to Excel;

2. Copy the entire contents of the second column from Excel to Google Translate;

3. Copy the translated strings back to the second column of Excel;

4. Clear out your resource file;

5. Copy the entire contents from Excel back to your resource file.

Hope this helps. Should be easier than doing this programmatically.
