#Overview

##Have a project that uses ResX files ?

• Transform ResX files in a project into a strongly typed assembly
• Access your translations
  • From inside .cshtml & .aspx files
    • @Resources.User.Pseudo / <%= Resources.User.Pseudo %>
• Bind your translations to a ViewModel
  • [Display(Name = "Pseudo", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.User))]
• Use it again in your dlls to return localized error messages
  • return Resources.User.RegisterError;

####Use variables inside your ResX files

• Format various messages
  • .resx: Welcome {0}
    • .cs: return Resources.User.Welcome("Robert")
    • result: Welcome Robert
• Dynamically replace variables
  • .resx: Register with {DOMAIN}
    • .cs: return Resources.Branding.Register;
    • result: Register with www.i-technology.net
  • .resx: {BRAND} announces new feature for {0}
    • .cs: return Resources.Branding.Feature("T4")
    • result: I-Technology announces new feature for T4

####Export & Reuse your translations

• Pull translations directly into localized JavaScript files
  • <script src="/GetNameSpaceAsJs?ns=Resources.User"></script>
• Or assign inline
  • var localized = GetNameSpaceAsJson("Resources.User");
• Grab a series of translations as collection
  • Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string string>> items = GetResourcesByNameSpace("Resources.User");
• Or do just grab bits & pieces
  • Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string string>> items = GetResourcesByNameSpace(".*");
  • Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string string>> items = GetResourcesByNameSpace("Resources.User.*");
  • Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string string>> items = GetResourcesByNameSpace("^User|Branding");
