A Visual Studio extension and standalone tool for centralized management of ResX-based localization resources in .NET applications.
ResX Resource Manager is a tool for managing localization resources in .NET applications that use ResX files. It centralizes access to all string resources in a solution, allowing developers to view, edit, and organize translations across multiple languages efficiently. The tool helps identify untranslated strings and streamline the localization process for various application types.
.NET developers working on multilingual applications, particularly those using WPF, web frameworks like Angular with TypeScript, or Xamarin. It's also useful for teams needing to automate resource management tasks.
Developers choose ResX Resource Manager for its centralized, intuitive interface that simplifies managing ResX resources across projects. Its side-by-side language view, inline editing, and support for multiple .NET platforms make it a versatile and time-saving alternative to manual resource file management.
Manage localization of all ResX-Based resources in one central place.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a single, well-arranged data grid to access all ResX-based string resources in your solution, as highlighted in the README, eliminating the need to switch between multiple files.
Displays all available languages in columns, making it easy to identify untranslated strings or orphaned entries at a glance, which streamlines the localization workflow.
Allows quick in-place editing in the grid, with untranslated entries created automatically while typing, reducing manual file manipulation and errors.
Available as a Visual Studio extension, standalone executable, and scripting module for automation, offering versatility for different development environments and workflows.
Only supports ResX files, so projects using modern .NET localization frameworks with JSON or other formats may require additional tooling or workarounds.
Relies on external community tools like XamarinLocalizationSync for Xamarin apps, adding setup overhead and potential maintenance issues not covered out of the box.
The standalone version requires copying the solutions folder to the clipboard to load a specific solution, a non-intuitive process that can hinder quick adoption for new users.
