Easy - Localization

[eramgarden]

We need to localize our web app in both English and Spanish. Currently, the English and Spanish texts are in 2 tables: one for English, one for Spanish. These 2 tables are used by our propritary Windows app. My manager wants me to still use the 2 tables when we're coding the web app.

 

I read these 2 sites:

http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/net_asp/miscellaneous/article.php/c12407__2/

 

http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/localization.asp

 

At the end of the second link, it does talk about having translations in the database.

my question is is there a way to populate the RESX files from the database? How can I use the resx files if the translanslations are in the database?

 

I'm thinking if translations/data are in the database, then I cant use RESX files/ASP.Net's localization technique and I just have to read the tables and load the text to label controls.

 

Any thoughts? thanks.
