Multilingual large web app suggestion.

Sachin Singh

I never used resx file for creating multilingual site, it becomes hard to maintain as website grows. What i do, is simply creating several language folder, inside each folder creating several folders for modules and each modules contains several language specific xml files (simple xml file) .

Then i use my custom extension method to read string by language code, same applies with model validators and javascript.

If anyone have worked on a large multilingual web app, then can you share your approach.

Sir,
Then how do you mange server calls, with each page there will be a call to DB, can be of multiple times if using partial views.
Or do you use some cache after retrieving values?

Hi Sachin,

As per my view whne you have large scal application then its better to create stringResource table and store key and values based on culter. It will help for long run and easy to manage.
