Installation

VS Extension: Use the VS Extension Manager, or download the binaries and double click the ResXManager.VSIX.vsix
Standalone: Run the ClickOnce installer from the Downloads page.


Usage

VS Extension: ResX Resource Manager Extension can be found in the Tools and in the View|Other Windows menus of Visual Studio 2010. The window will show all ResX based resources in the active solution. Navigating to a resource in the Solution Explorer will automatically select the resource in the ResX Resource Manager. If you are using an integrated SCM, files will be checked out as you type.

Standalone: Start the ResX Resource Manager and select a directory (usually the solutions directory) in the applications main menu. The window will show all ResX based resources in the directory and all sub directories. It will simply group the resources by the nearest project file in the directory tree; no solution will be parsed, so if you don't have a clean directory, orphan or stale copies of resource or project files will appear in the list as well.

All versions: When you select a resource file, all entries and their translations will be displayed in an editable grid. The first column displays the resource key, the second column the neutral resource, continued by one column per localized language.
The tool does not create new resource files for a language, because that is easily done in VS. Just add a new resource file to your project and name it <baseName>.<language>.resx, or select the desired language in the WinForms designer to create a localized form. But as soon as you have created a new language file, you can easily fill it by simply typing the localized string in the new column that appears in the ResX Resource Manager. All entries will now be created as you type.

Empty, untranslated entries are marked red, so they are easy to find; you can also sort the columns by clicking the header of any column to move all empty entries to the top. This project has integrated the Data Grid Extensions, so you can simply filter columns to search the view for something special to translate or verify.

Note: This tool instantly saves the changes as soon as you leave a cell in the data grid. There is no save button, and undo is limited to the local undo of the grid's cell. If you are using Source Control Management, this is no limitation, since you will anyhow verify the changes before checking in. If you don't use an SCM, I would strongly recommend starting to use one ;-)
