Multi-Lingual Application

[Grace]

Hello,

I'm working on building a Muli-Lingual web application
using asp.net and I would like to know what is the best
way of handling the language translations. In the old asp
way, we used to load the translation in all languages in
application variables and keep them in memory. However in
asp.net I was reading something about the resource files.
Are the resource files efficient to handle a large
application or is it better to stick to the application
variables?

Thank You,
Grace

Personally i solved the problem by using asp:label fields and filling them
with the content from an XML file (with all the different languages).

Tim,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to know if you are
using the xml method on a large application. Is it
efficient and fast enough to query on each label from a
large xml document? And in your case is the xml loaded in
memory in an application variable or do you load it
whenever the screen opens?

I really appreciate your feedback on this and would
like to thank you in advance.

I must say that it didn't had a lot of text (the usual text that belongs to
an application, but surely nothing like a newssite for example).
The xml's where loaded into memory - and applied at runtime. The
application used caching - and for my case it worked very good (=fast) &
easy.

It used a "backsite" in order for my client to update certain parts of the
text himself.
Hope this helps - sorry for the late reply.
